whitespace within tag value causes error

[grahampcharles]

A tag in the format @tag(value) where value contains whitespace causes a Parsimmon error. For example:

@done(2022-01-22 19:30)
                ^
                parser stops

The regex on line 17 should be updated to:

const TAG = P.regex(/^^@([^\n\s]+(?:\(.*\)))/, 1)

I'll put in a PR when I'm able.

Thanks for the report! What tool makes tags like that?

[grahampcharles]

The vscode TODO plugin sets tags in the format @done(YYYY-MM-DD hh:nn). More to the point, the original spec uses the regex \(((?:\\\(|\\\)|[^()])*)\) to match tag values, which allows spaces, so the parser probably should, too.

tag with spaces regex match

Hm... interestingly, your code has a test for spaces in a tag value and passes it. I'm not sure why it chokes on @done(2022-01-13 14:55) in production...
