A task list creates checkboxes for people with access :book:in a repository to check off. They're very useful for tracking issues and pull requests.
If you include a task list in the body of an issue or pull request, you'll see a progress indicator in your issue list.
Watch out! The syntax for task lists is very specific. Be sure to include the spaces where required, or else they won't render.
- [x] Additional markup is supported, including @mentions, #references, [links](url), **emphasis**, and <del>HTML tags</del>.
- [x] List syntax is required.
- You can nest lists below, too!
- [x] This item is completed.
- [ ] This item is not complete.

I didn't see a task list in that comment. Remember, a task list starts with the syntax - [ ]
and then the task list item. The formatting is specific! Try again with a new comment. You can copy this one if you would like to see how they look:
- [ ] Turn on GitHub Pages
- [ ] Outline my portfolio
- [ ] Introduce myself to the world
If you would like assistance troubleshooting, create a post on the GitHub Community board. You might also want to search for your issue to see if other people have resolved it in the past.
shiftykappone, it looks like your task list has too many spaces between the [ ]
square brackets.
The formatting for a task list requires that there is exactly one space between the brackets. When you check the box, that blank space will be replaced by an x
.
Go ahead and try again!
