[Documentation] Task list not rendered in README.md

[alexlemaire]

WIP, just filing the issue here to keep track

Interactive task list not being rendered correctly in README.md.

Tried:

• regular Markdown syntax: - [ ] task
• HTML: <li><input type="checkbox"> task</li>

For reference:

• the regular Markdown syntax does not work because it's rendering a static task list that you can only modify via Markdown itself. The reason it works differently in Pull requests, Comments or Issues is because those uses GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax instead which allows extra features. Unfortunately it's not available for regular READMEs
• the HTML syntax does not work because GitHub Markdown rendering is blacklisting input HTML element as well as inline styles (see here and here). Therefore the only thing that goes through is the ul, the li's and their content

this is not needed, see new readme... we just have a list and delete each task from that list when it's done. the list must be deleted anyways when the element is done ;-)

All good, closing for now.
