Issue displaying checkboxes in html with markdown-checklist extension #591

Closed wtbutler closed 2 years ago

wtbutler commented 2 years ago

I have installed the markdown-checklist extension pip3, and I have added it to my markdown file. If I check the HTML generated by ReText, it clearly includes checkboxes. I copied and pasted this into its own file and viewed it in my browser and it did include checkboxes.

<!-- Required extensions: markdown_checklist.extension -->

# TODO
 - [X] Testing  
 - [ ] This  
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="generator" content="ReText 8.0.0">
<title>README</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Required extensions: markdown_checklist.extension -->

<h1>TODO</h1>
<ul class="checklist">
<li><input type="checkbox" disabled checked> Testing  </li>
<li><input type="checkbox" disabled> This  </li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

However, the retext preview shows no checkboxes, and when exported to a PDF, the PDF also includes no checkboxes. image

I'm using debian 11 and retext 8.0.0.

Thanks for any help!

Please try enabling the WebEngine renderer from the Edit menu. The default renderer supports only a basic subset of HTML.

wtbutler commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the reply! I probably did something wrong, because the option is grayed out. I tried installing chromium and restarting ReText and it's still grayed out.

Then try this:

sudo apt install python3-pyqt6.qtwebengine libqt6webenginecore6-bin

These packages are recommended by retext.

wtbutler commented 2 years ago

Just so I don't bork things, I'm not seeing those packages. I'm seeing pyqt5, but not pyqt6. Is there a significant enough difference that I should figure out how to get to pyqt6?

mitya57 commented 2 years ago

Sorry, I did not read your post carefully enough and I thought you installed ReText from Debian testing packages.

But you are using Debian 11 which indeed does not have PyQt6.

Then I assume you installed ReText using pip. In that case, you need this:

pip install PyQt6-WebEngine

Sorry again for confusion.

All good! Thanks again. That did display checkboxes. There's a separate issue now, but that seems to be with checkbox-extension and nested lists, not ReText, so this seems to be resolved!

Good! Closing then.
