This feature would be really helpful in instructional documents like setup instructions.

+1 from my side. This would make this plugin complete for me...

This should be easy, since markdig already supports this: just using Markdig.Extensions.TaskLists and maybe an update to the newest version.

Hi @bblankrot

The problem is not Markdig but the HTMLRenderer, which does not support the format and rendering and is not actively developed anymore. The Markdig extension is actually enabled.

Sorry

It would be great if markdig would use a different class for checked list items. That way this issue could be mitigated by using some css that would e.g. strike through the list item or display a background that "shows" the checkbox. The current viewer result does not represent the intent of the markup.

What about https://github.com/LayoutFarm/HtmlRenderer ?

Hey @asherber

Thanks for pointing that repo out. Didn't now that fork.

Will have a look.

Thanks
