+ The input must consist of lines of the format: + + +<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <query> + + Each line is interpreted similarly to notmuch tag command line + arguments. The delimiter is one or more spaces ' '. Any characters in + <tag> may be hex-encoded with %NN where NN is the hexadecimal value of + the character. To hex-encode a character with a multi-byte UTF-8 encod- + ing, hex-encode each byte. Any spaces in <tag> must be hex-encoded as + %20. Any characters that are not part of <tag> must not be hex-encoded. + + In the future tag:"tag with spaces" style quoting may be supported for + <tag> as well; for this reason all double quote characters in <tag> + should be hex-encoded. + + The <query> should be quoted using Xapian boolean term quoting rules: + if a term contains whitespace or a close paren or starts with a double + quote, it must be enclosed in double quotes (not including any prefix) + and double quotes inside the term must be doubled (see below for exam- + ples). + + Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines begin- + ning with '#' are ignored. ++ +
+ The following shows a valid input to batch tagging. Note that only the + isolated '*' acts as a wildcard.
