Markdown checkbox list

Roko Burilo May 20, 2021

I would like to use Markdown's checkbox list feature, but it seems Confluence doesn't support it.

- [ ] Example 1
  - [ ] Example 2
- [x] Example 3

I am also having trouble creating Checkboxes with Markdown in the Description of a Task.

I've tried the following

[] try 1

[ ] try 2

_ try 3

* _ try 4

I was able to do it using "[] <space>" with no space between the open and closing brackets.  It is not real markdown but then again, it's markdown, is there a standard :)

Example

[] Type stuff

Hi Roko,

Have you tried using the task macro ?

I can do it manually with the task macro, yes, but I have a Markdown file that I would like to just import.

How did you do it? I don't see this button on my end in the description box.
