How to write tasklist in typora?

I got some problem when i tried to write markdown in typora, which can render text immediaetly. In typora's markdown style, with '-' at the beginning of a line it can render a list and with '- []' or '-[x]' it can render a tasklist complete or incomplete. However, everytime I tried to write '- []', typora always detects the character '-' and renders a list instead of a tasklist. Is there any solution? Thanks!

Solution

  • From typora's website:

    Task lists are lists with items marked as either [ ] or [x] (incomplete or complete).

    They even provide an example:

    - [ ] a task list item
- [ ] list syntax required
- [ ] normal **formatting**, @mentions, #1234 refs
- [ ] incomplete
- [x] completed

    Just tried it in version 0.9.9.8.2 on macOS and it worked right away.

    The spaces around and between [ and ] are required for this to work.
