// This is a slightly modified (replaced example disabled by example) of the // table section from GitHub's spec.txt ## Task list items (extension) GFM enables the `tasklist` extension, where an additional processing step is performed on [list items]. A [task list item](@) is a [list item][list items] where the first block in it is a paragraph which begins with a [task list item marker] and at least one whitespace character before any other content. A [task list item marker](@) consists of an optional number of spaces, a left bracket (`[`), either a whitespace character or the letter `x` in either lowercase or uppercase, and then a right bracket (`]`). When rendered, the [task list item marker] is replaced with a semantic checkbox element; in an HTML output, this would be an `` element. If the character between the brackets is a whitespace character, the checkbox is unchecked. Otherwise, the checkbox is checked. This spec does not define how the checkbox elements are interacted with: in practice, implementors are free to render the checkboxes as disabled or inmutable elements, or they may dynamically handle dynamic interactions (i.e. checking, unchecking) in the final rendered document. ```````````````````````````````` example - [ ] foo - [x] bar .
