Markup: Bug : Task list on Wiki is disabled.

[HyoKim]

After adding a task list on wiki, It rendered check box has disabled property.

This is currently by design. Since wikis and READMEs are versioned in git, and many people are particular about their revision history, we want to make sure we get the interface for saving changes to checkboxes right first. For now you can edit the page and update the markdown.

Thank you for explanation.

Is there any option to enable the checkboxes? I have an install instruction file with many steps and wanted live checkboxes that start out all unchecked to let users check them as they work through the steps so they don't miss anything, without saving any state changes. Doesn't look like the tasklist as is allows that.

I agree, I think that they really should be enabled to be checkable with HTML. I have always wanted to use them in the Wiki, and checking them in the code makes them almost pointless honestly.

Isn't there a more clever way of solving this problem than simply disabling the checkboxes and forcing everybody to edit the code - thus making the whole feature useless.

I've faced the same problem with the same scenario. I wrote a gist that I run in the browser console-
[...document.querySelectorAll("li input")].map(x => x.disabled = false)

The problem is it resets after refreshing the page...
