Now available in the plugin store!

1. Navigate to the plugins store (Settings => Community plugins -> Browse)
2. Search for 'Markdown table checkboxes'
3. Select the plugin and click Install

How to use

• Simply enable the plugin and type a markdown checkbox inside a table. It will get converted to a HTML checkbox.
• In either live preview or view mode, (un)check the checkbox and the state will be reflected in your file.

How it works

• Whenever a closing bracket ] is typed to close a checkbox, it will be replaced by an HTML checkbox <input type="checkbox" unchecked id="...">.
• When the checkbox is clicked in the preview, the checkbox in the file is found by its ID.
• The checked state of the checkbox gets toggled.
