Steemit Problems - Checklists

This post is part of the Steemit Problems - Bugs, Missing Feature & Workaround Serie!

Let me know in the comments if you meet any problems while steeming. We will try to find a solution for you!

Checklists, as defined in GitHub Markdown, work as follows:

- [ ] Mercury
- [x] Venus
- [x] Earth (Orbit/Moon)
- [x] Mars
- [ ] Jupiter
- [ ] Saturn
- [ ] Uranus
- [x ] Neptune
- [ ] Comet Haley

And should be displayed as:

    Mercury
✓ Venus
✓ Earth (Orbit/Moon)
✓ Mars
    Jupiter
    Saturn
    Uranus
✓ Neptune
    Comet Haley

But, instead, we just get this:

• [ ] Mercury
• [x] Venus
• [x] Earth (Orbit/Moon)
• [x] Mars
• [ ] Jupiter
• [ ] Saturn
• [ ] Uranus
• [x ] Neptune
• [ ] Comet Haley

Workaround?

• Using the UTF-8 character for the checked mark (✓)
• Using 3 &nbsp to have a better indentation

Code:

    Mercury
✓ Venus
✓ Earth (Orbit/Moon)
✓ Mars
    Jupiter
    Saturn
    Uranus
✓ Neptune
    Comet Haley

It's better, but not perfect. And it's still a very tedious process...

Result:

    Mercury
✓ Venus
✓ Earth (Orbit/Moon)
✓ Mars
    Jupiter
    Saturn
    Uranus
✓ Neptune
    Comet Haley
