<pre><code>% task add "Buy bread &amp; milk"</code></pre>
<p>
Task itself interprets the commands, and it too can make mistakes.
For example, any colon : character will be interpreted by task as a
delimiter between an attribute name and its value. Currently there
is no workaround for this.
Note that if an &amp; character (or any other character that needs
to be escaped for the shell) appears in the
<a href="filter.html">filter</a> of a
<a href="custom.html">custom report</a>
then it does not need to be escaped, as it never gets processed
by the shell. In other words, shell escapes need only be used
when typing task commands at a prompt.
