The [Getting Started](https://guide.taskpaper.com/getting-started/)section of the users guide does a good job of describing that for users.

Unfortunately if you are a developer trying to write a TaskPaper parser I don’t have a good formal definition. But I have [open sourced TaskPaper’s model layer](https://support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/what-is-taskpapers-open-source-model-layer/2148?u=jessegrosjean). That project will enable you to parse, process, and save TaskPaper files anywhere that you have access to JavaScript using the same code that TaskPaper uses.
