This is the documentation for the unsupported version 1.3. Please consider upgrading your code to the latest stable version

Task List Extension

(Note: this extension is included by default within the GFM extension)

This extension adds support for GFM-style task lists.

Installation

This extension is bundled with league/commonmark. This library can be installed via Composer:

composer require league/commonmark

See the installation section for more details.

Usage

Configure your Environment as usual and simply add the TaskListExtension provided by this package:

use League\CommonMark\CommonMarkConverter;
use League\CommonMark\Environment;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\TaskList\TaskListExtension;

// Obtain a pre-configured Environment with all the CommonMark parsers/renderers ready-to-go
$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();

// Add this extension
$environment->addExtension(new TaskListExtension());

// Instantiate the converter engine and start converting some Markdown!
$converter = new CommonMarkConverter([], $environment);

$markdown = <<<EOT
 - [x] Install this extension
 - [ ] ???
 - [ ] Profit!
EOT;

echo $converter->convertToHtml($markdown);

Please note that this extension doesn’t provide any JavaScript functionality to handle people checking and unchecking boxes - you’ll need to implement that yourself if needed.
