Features

• Supports multiple checkboxes per cell and per row.
• Changes are immediately saved to the Markdown file.
• Robust mapping between rendered checkboxes and source Markdown.

Usage

• Install the plugin in Obsidian.
• Create a Markdown table with checkboxes such as [ ] and [x].
• Click checkboxes in Reading Mode to toggle and save changes.
• Checked rows are highlighted automatically so completed items stand out visually.
• The default highlight color is a light pastel yellow.
• In the plugin settings, you can pick the highlight color and decide whether checked rows should be struck through.
• In Edit Mode, checkboxes remain text and can be toggled directly in the editor.

Development

• Edit the TypeScript source files in the project directory.
• Install npm npm install.
• Run npm run build after making changes to produce the updated plugin files.
