Markdown Pro Checkbox Not Working

[apederson94]

Checkbox does not work in Markdown Pro editor. It seems to be trying to create a link in the editor view, but in the presented view it does no formatting on the checkbox. The Markdown Basic editor has no problems handling the checkbox and does everything correctly. I can also use html (<input type="checkbox" />) in the Markdown Pro editor and it correctly renders a checkbox, however this does not solve my problem because state is not preserved with this checkbox. When I check the html checkbox and then leave and come back the checkbox is now unchecked.

For reference: [ ] is the empty checkbox [x] is a checked checkbox

Hi @apederson94!

Please try the following:

- [x] a checked checkbox
- [ ] an unchecked checkbox

Should render:

• [x] a checked checkbox
• [ ] an unchecked checkbox

@johnny243 that seems to have done it. apparently it doesn't play well in this format inside a list * [x] a checked checkbox

Are check boxes in the preview pane supposed to be clickable? Joplin has that feature and it's extremely handy to not have to use the full-blown task editor when you just need like 10 checkboxes for a recipe in-line with the instructions.
