Possibility to use the task list items without bullets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if you could use the task list items [ ], [X] without the 
need of a underlying list structure.

So do you want a task list without using list symbols?

[ ] List item
[ ] List item
   [ ] List item
   [ ] List item
       [ ] List item
[ ] List item

Well, in this case I wouldn't use it as a list, but just to mark something as 
to be 
done.
So in my current wiki I have a lot of TODO issues and I just want to exchange 
the 
TODO by a [].

Show me the way it is supposed to be used. You place it in an arbitrary text 
position -
- what vimwiki should be able to do with it? How it should be converted to html?

PS
I use TODO: and DONE: keywords :)

TODO and DONE keywords obviously works but the [] creates a checkbox in html 
which 
can be changed. Now, in my mind it would be perfect if there is be some 
autosave 
capability of the html file, so that it is saved if a checkbox state is 
changed. And 
when I open the vimWiki the next time, VimWiki scans the html for changed 
checkboxes 
and adapts the .wiki files. In this way the TODO items can be managed via the 
html 
interface, which would be very convenient!
Of course, this strategy is a bit away from the actual topic of this issue, but 
it 
could be a possible aim.

best regards!

Unfortunatly, I don't think this is going to be implemented.

If the OP is still interested, the way to get this to work would be to edit the 
HTML template to send an AJAX call to a web service when the checkbox is 
checked. The web service would then change the vimwiki file code (either right 
away, or by storing the change for a later sync).

If anyone still wants this, then I will happily code the changes to the HTML 
temples, and I'll code and host the web service. It would be a community web 
service that would store the changes. Someone else would have to add the code 
to VimWiki to poll the server and update as needed.

Note that this would be insecure. I'll add SSL, but anyone who knows your web 
service username and password (stored as plaintext in your HTML files) would be 
able to change the checkmark value.
