Support checkboxes in Tables

[betahost]

It would be great if the checkbox was directly supported in Tables without having to use Emoji’s like :check:

This is unlikely to be added as we want to maintain compatibility with mainstream markdown. Todo items are list items, and list items are block level elements, and block level elements are not allowed inside table cells.

But suggestions and ideas are always welcome. Who knows what we can come up with.

Ok yes that makes perfect sense.

Thanks

Perhaps just put strings in the underlying markup (ie [ ] and [x]) and render them as checkboxes and include them in the todo section
