Description Lorenz Hoffmann 2020-12-14 16:10:52 UTC 
SUMMARY
Markdown ToDo lists are rendered as unsorted lists with bullet points instead of checkboxes

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a markdown document
2. Write a TODO list (- [ ] ...)

OBSERVED RESULT
The list is displayed like an unsorted list and every entry starts with [ ] or [x]

EXPECTED RESULT
An unsorted list with checkboxes instead of bullet points where the checkbox checked or not, depending on whether there is an `x` or a space between the square brackets.

KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a feature request since TODO lists are not really part of Markdown it seems.

Okular uses Discount library to process Markdown files. It would be better to report the bugs against Discount:

https://github.com/Orc/discount/issues

The bug will be fixed faster if there will be a minimal working (non-working example) attached. You can test it locally using

markdown test.md

in console.

Seems like there is already an issue for this:
https://github.com/Orc/discount/issues/205

Even better, it seems to be finished and gets released with v3, very cool!
