How can I add a checkbox in confluence using confluence wiki markup?

gangishetty manideep January 13, 2025

I want to create a Confluence page using the Confluence Wiki and Python code. I want to insert a checkbox on the page. I learned that Confluence recently removed the use of "[]" for adding a task list, which could be used as a checkbox. How can I insert a checkbox now?

Hi @gangishetty manideep 

You may use the XHTML format:

<ac:task-list>
    <ac:task>
        <ac:task-id>1</ac:task-id>
        <ac:task-status>incomplete</ac:task-status>
    </ac:task>
</ac:task-list><p />

My whole content is in Confluence Wiki. I can't insert XHTML in wiki markup right?
