Tasklist

概观

The Tasklist extension adds GFM style task lists. They follow the same syntax as GFM. Simply start each list item with a square bracket pair containing either a space (an unchecked item) or a x (a checked item).

Task List Example

All task lists in this documentation are generated with custom_checkbox enabled.

Task List

- [X] item 1
    * [X] item A
    * [ ] item B
        more text
        + [x] item a
        + [ ] item b
        + [x] item c
    * [X] item C
- [ ] item 2
- [ ] item 3

Task List

  • item 1
    • item A
    • item B
      • item a
      • item b
      • item c
    • item C
  • item 2
  • item 3

CSS

The default HTML structure of a task list is found below:

<ul class="task-list">
    <li class="task-list-item">
        <input type="checkbox" disabled="" checked="">
        item 1
    </li>
</ul>

If custom_checkbox is enabled the structure will be as follows:

<ul class="task-list">
    <li class="task-list-item">
        <label class="task-list-control">
            <input type="checkbox" disabled checked="">
            <span class="task-list-indicator"></span>
        </label>
        item 1
    </li>
</ul>
Classes Description
task-list Attached to either the ul or ol tag and represents the entire list element.
task-list-item This is attached the li tag and represents an item in the list.
task-list-control This is attached to the label tag and represents the control object.
task-list-indicator This is attached to the span directly following the input and is used to style the visual indicator.
Basic Tasklist CSS

In order to style these we mainly remove the list type style and adjust the margins to align with normal list styles.

.markdown-body .task-list-item {
  list-style-type: none !important;
}

.markdown-body .task-list-item input[type="checkbox"] {
  margin: 0 4px 0.25em -20px;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
Custom Tasklist CSS

If custom check box icons are desired, custom styles can be used to give a unique look to the check marks. Below is a very simple CSS example that creates a light gray square with rounded corners and displays a green Unicode check mark when the control is checked. This can be adapted to use web fonts, images, etc.

.markdown-body .task-list-item {
  list-style-type: none !important;
}

.markdown-body .task-list-item input[type="checkbox"] {
  margin: 0 4px 0.25em -20px;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

.markdown-body .task-list-control {
  display: inline; /* Ensure label is inline incase theme sets it to block.*/
}

.markdown-body .task-list-control {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  color: #555;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.markdown-body .task-list-control input[type="checkbox"] {
  position: absolute;
  opacity: 0;
  z-index: -1; /* Put the input behind the label so it doesn't overlay text */
}

.markdown-body .task-list-indicator {
  position: absolute;
  top: -8px;
  left: -18px;
  display: block;
  width:  14px;
  height: 14px;
  color: #eee;
  background-color: #eee;
  border-radius: .25rem;
}

.markdown-body .task-list-control input[type="checkbox"]:checked + .task-list-indicator::before {
  display: block;
  margin-top: -4px;
  margin-left: 2px;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1;
  content: "✔";
  color: #1EBB52;
}
