Markup: Checkboxes don't work inside Markdown table.

Here is a screenshot of the current rendering. Is there a way this can made to work? Would be awesome.
Thanks

Do you have the link to the example? Was it in a README, in a PR or in a wiki?

[raghunayyar]

@pchaigno I was collaborating with some to create a table for our Work to do on a git repo. Since it doesnt work, we have reverted it back.

I've managed to make it work but it's not ideal: https://gist.github.com/pchaigno/1826ba1151890b751862
I used some HTML to make the list: <ul><li>[x] item1</li><li>[ ] item2</li></ul>
@bkeepers Any way to improve that?

[bkeepers]

Not that I know of.

Thanks for the feature request. I'm going to close this issue since changes to this gem can't fix it, but I have passed it on to our internal teams that work on task lists and markup changes.

@bkeepers Apologies for the old bump, but was this ever passed on for consideration? Thank you!

[bkeepers]

@mbeacom It was, and the library that powers our task lists is now open source: https://github.com/github/task_list/issues/42

:+1: I would love this too! (Moved to github/task_list#42)

This feature is still not added to markdown :cry:

[machinshin]

how is this not considered important enough to add?

Changes to this gem cannot fix it (per bkeepers' comment 3 years ago), so the issue does not belong here. Please contact support if you want to inquire more about this.
