Markdown Control Render Issue with Checkboxes

Markdown Control Render Issue

in current 26.6.30 on GNU/LInux Debian (but may effect other systems aswell).

Steps To Reproduce

Open Objo Markdown Example and insert any markdown with checkboxes e.g.:

# Dokumentenstatus
- [x] Entwurf
- [ ] In Prüfung
- [ ] Freigegeben
- [ ] Archiviert

Expected Result

The renderer should consider the MD Checkboxes instead I am getting this (see screenshot)

Thanks for reporting this.

The - [x] / - [ ] syntax is not part of core CommonMark which is what the renderer was using. This syntax is a GitHub Flavoured Markdown task-list extension.

However, after looking into this, this is an inconsistency in Objo Studio. MarkdownViewer.ToHTML() was using Markdig’s advanced Markdown extensions, so it recognised task lists, but the live MarkdownViewer preview was using a different renderer and did not.

I’ve changed MarkdownViewer so the live rendered view now uses the same Markdig advanced Markdown pipeline as HTML, HTMLDocument, ToHTML(), ToHTMLDocument(), PlainText, and ToPlainText().

This means GitHub-style task lists like:

- [x] Entwurf
- [ ] In Prüfung

now render as read-only checkbox markers in the viewer.

This is fixed for the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/623
