Inline tasks

[Ypot]

Hi

Inline tasks: Are headlines with a limited reach.
***** Inline task
Body
***** END

It's included in org-mode: (require 'org-inlinetask)

Could do something about them?
For example, one "*" is not hidden.
Maybe we could choose how indented they are, and give them a face.
Maybe we could hide the "END" headline.

Yes, I am aware of inline tasks. Visually they stand out too much, so I've never adopted them in my Org usage. It would be nice to prettify them somehow, such that they look better. Another thing to consider - maybe one could propose a better syntax to Org itself (why not use some block like syntax)?

Hi, I'm the maintainer of Org Superstar and recently stumbled upon this package. I haven't had the chance to look into Modern more deeply but if you are familiar with how Superstar handles inline tasks maybe there's some useful potential for cross pollination?

Sure, I am happy to consider adding inline task support if contributed. Inline tasks do not seem vastly popular though since this hasn't been requested that often, and I find the syntax kind of ugly and incoherent with the Org syntax.

My gripe is more that it violates usual conventions where requiring a package has no side effects, while requiring inlinetasks suddenly changes the behavior of Org in ways that you can't just turn off again, because it's not a minor mode. Instead it just destructively changes org variables and key maps, which makes it obnoxious for debugging as you have to open a clean slate Emacs session dedicated to it specifically. Unrelated, but since this package is GNU I should probably mention that I believe I filled the necessary paperwork a few years ago.

Btw are there other features besides inline tasks from org-superstar which could be added here?
