In Quarto, shouldn't bullet points be removed when using checkboxes?

aos · February 13, 2024, 8:54am

I consider moving my lab notes and reminders from Obsidian to Quarto. In Obsidian, when I create a checkbox like this - [ ] text, the bullet point is automatically removed when the document is rendered, such that only the checkbox is shown. Shouldn't this also be the case in Quarto? Or should I use a different syntax for checkboxes in Quarto?

I open Quarto from within RStudio, using a default Quarto document. What's somewhat confusing is that in the example in this bug report, checkboxes are actually shown without the bullet points.

A clue to what's going on is in this bug report.

I managed to reproduce your problem once and now cannot do so. I "think" you must be sure to have something' even a space between the when it is created. It does not seem to be essential after that!

### Bug description - Check boxes get a bullet if they are in the same list a…s bullet points without a check box, whereas they do not get a bullet if they are in a list with only checkboxes. - In RStudio's visual editor, bullets are always shown with check boxes. - Also, lists do not seem to get separated if one or multiple empty lines separate them (possibly, the empty lines indicate that it must be a wide list). ### Steps to reproduce ````quarto --- title: "Check boxes" format: html --- List A - [ ] Check box - No check box - [ ] Check box - [ ] Another check box List C - [ ] Check box - [ ] Another check box ```` ### Expected behavior - Check boxes should not get a bullet. - Visual editor shouldn't show bullets if these aren't shown in the rendered document. ### Actual behavior - Check boxes get a bullet if they are in the same list as bullet points without a check box. - Visual editor shows bullets even if these aren't shown in the rendered document. ### Your environment - IDE: 2023.12.1 Build 402 - OS: macOS 14.3.1 (23D60) ### Quarto check output Quarto 1.4.549 [✓] Checking versions of quarto binary dependencies...
