Issue with settings when Alternate-Checkboxes snippet ? Documentation issue #185

Describe the bug

Expected behavior

Such a great Snippet for use with new tasks statuses - thank you. However it says here https://github.com/SlRvb/Obsidian--ITS-Theme/blob/main/Guide/Alternate-Checkboxes.md that "Style Settings found under: Note Elements > Lists > Checkboxes".

I cannot for the life of me figure out where these settings might be as they apply to the snippet.

In particular - the really extremely bad feature for me is the fact that the tasks are all bolded. How can I turn that off because it really makes things unreadable. I might want some task statuses bold perhaps, but making absolutely everything bold is really not a good thing.

This may simply be a documentation issue, but the fact is that with the current documentation it is not possible for me to work out how to achieve the various alternate stylings shown on on the above page - apart from the default full blast ones.

Edit: OK I figured it out after a long bit of reading - didn't realise it is via the Style Settings plugin. In think the issue here is that a lot of people are going to be going just for this snippet not for the theme, so where it says to alter style settings, it should explain on that page what it means.....

Also in the settings, where it says "Normal Task Text" with a subtitle "reapply regular text COLOR" - that should say that it also toggles boldness. Why are these joined? Surely someone might want one or the other, not both?

Keeping this here in case documents merit some attention and in case it helps anyone else.

I've added warnings to the guide and updated the readme to use the newer Obsidian Publish version of the documentation to update that faster. Thanks for the tip!

I've added the other fixes for to the ITS v1 beta to be clearer. Not sure if there's really demand for a separate non-bolding toggle. The normal text toggle is meant to replicate the regular paragraph text styling rather than the styling of a checked box when it's toggled on which means it also replicates the bolding of regular text which... is not bold.
