More boolean support for queries

[AlwynYin]

As far as I'm concerned, the query now only supports and(connecting two statement with a new line), but has no other boolean operation support.
It would be great if there is a or operator, and even better if it supports xor.

Here, I want to sort out tasks that are due today or after today.
I tried connecting the two statements with or, OR, |, ||, and i also tried not before, none worked

There is an open Pull Request to add Boolean combinations: #553

your query is representable already, though, with:

done after 2022-04-29

Thanks!
very much understand that, but I want to write this as and template, where date is today's date

[claremacrae]

Understood. Do you use the Core Template or Community Templater plugin?

[claremacrae]

For those who use Templater, I use this at the top of my daily notes template, so I can include folders in my daily notes...

<%*
  let yesterday = tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", -1, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD")
  let today     = tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD",  0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD")
  let tomorrow  = tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD",  1, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD")
%>

This allows readable things like:

...
done after <% yesterday %>
...

We are tracking a request for or support in #121, so I'm marking this as a duplicate, and will add a link in that one to here.
