Feature request: Checkboxes for todo list

[aapetrus]

Is there any possibility to make checkboxes for todo list like in Evernote?

For now there's no way to add a checkbox the same way evernote does, but you can use the @done special keyword at the end of the line to strike it out (note that it works only on nv in edit mode, you cannot see it in markdown preview or any other text editor).
I think it's the best you can do with plain text!

For what it's worth, there seems to be a somewhat standard syntax for plain text checkboxes now: - [ ] vs - [x]

Here's a link to Github's announcement of implementing this.

I use this all the time. And the strikethrough in nvALT mentioned above is pretty nice as well.

I'd love if nvALT could auto-complete a list of plain text checkboxes. I.e., if you hit return at the end of a line beginning with either - [ ] or - [x], the next line would automatically begin with - [ ]. 1Writer currently does this (and it's Brett's favorite iOS editor!) so it'd be nice if nvALT did too.

Any chance this could be implemented? It is a standard part of markdown now, but does not workin in nvAlt. https://github.com/blog/1825-task-lists-in-all-markdown-documents

The answer is no, for reasons openly discussed elsewhere. I'm just commenting because I have to note that just because GitHub enabled their own syntax in all markdown on their own platform in no way indicates a standard for markdown :).
