markdown-it-task-lists

A markdown-it plugin to create GitHub-style task lists

What it does

• Builds task/todo lists out of markdown lists with items starting with [ ] or [x].
• Nothing else

Why is this useful?

When you have markdown documentation with checklists, rendering HTML checkboxes out of the list items looks nicer than the raw square brackets.

Installation

npm install markdown-it-task-lists

Usage

Use it the same as a normal markdown-it plugin:

var md = require('markdown-it');
var taskLists = require('markdown-it-task-lists');

var parser = md().use(taskLists);

var result = parser.render(...); // markdown string containing task list items

Browser Usage

If you use one of the versions of this module available in dist/ directly in a browser by including it with a <script> element, it will be available globally in window.markdownitTaskLists.

Tests

npm install
npm test
