 ### Usage with QuickAdd
 One of the most common usage scenarios is probably in combination with the [QuickAdd](https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd) plugin
 to automatically add tasks to a specific file.
 
-For this you need to enter the following code as the Capture format:
-
-<!-- markdownlint-disable code-fence-style -->
-~~~markdown
-```js quickadd
-return await this.app.plugins.plugins['obsidian-tasks-plugin'].apiV1.createTaskLineModal();
-```
-~~~
-<!-- markdownlint-enable code-fence-style -->
-
-Or if you would like a newline character to be added after your new task line, use this as the Capture format instead:
-
-<!-- markdownlint-disable code-fence-style -->
-~~~markdown
-```js quickadd
-return await this.app.plugins.plugins['obsidian-tasks-plugin'].apiV1.createTaskLineModal() + '\n';
-```
-~~~
-<!-- markdownlint-enable code-fence-style -->
