Add task lists

[Juankz]

I would love to have the markdown task list in Notes-Up:

- [x] This is a complete item
- [ ] This is an incomplete item

• [x] This is a complete item
• [ ] This is an incomplete item

I could make - [ ] turn into a checkbox, but with the way Notes-Up and markdown works if you click on the checkbox it wouldn't save it's state. So i'm not sure how useful that would be

Well at least esthetically it would be nice feature. And could be something no click-able to avoid confusion, for example :heavy_check_mark:

I think the Taskpaper format will work great with this

I was thinking of an idea to create corresponding GTK checkboxes for each - [ ] or - [x] and refer to each one with an ID that stores the (beginning character) location. So when you tick the checkbox in View mode it replaces the corresponding - [ ] with - [x] (or vice versa) in the document.

But I think having a clickable checkbox might conflict with the fact that it's called "View" mode, and it would probably be simpler to just show a tick or a box as suggested above. It might be better to have a seperate WYSIWYG mode for that, or it might be more suited to a WYSIWYG app.

It might also be a nice addition to show the rest of the line striked out or grey when the tickbox is checked (only affecting the View mode).

@aljelly the problem here is that notes are not being rendered in GTK, but with a webview instead (This is what makes Notes-Up and other markdown apps so powerful)

So doing things with Gtk checkboxes will not work :/

Does this idea live?
