-## Recurrence
-
-By adding a `rec:` tag to your task, when you complete (`<LocalLeader>x`) or
-postpone (`<LocalLeader>p`) the task, a new recurrence will be created due after
-the specified amount of time.
-
-The format is:
-    `rec:[+][count][d|w|m|y]`
-
-Where:
-    d = days, w = weeks, m = months, y = years
-    The optional `+` specifies strict recurrence (see below)
-
-Examples:
-    *   `rec:2w` - Recurs two weeks after the task is completed.
-    *   `rec:3d` - Recurs three days after the task is completed.
-    *   `rec:+1w` - Recurs one week from the due date (strict)
