Thanks @literalEval for offering the help. Assigned
There might be conflict between - to trigger a bulleted list and - [ ] to trigger a checkbox.

@annieappflowy just a quick question which I could not find in the contributing docs.
Which branch should I use as a base for changes? main or develop? Because I see some PRs being merged into main too.

@annieappflowy since I am new to this codebase, I am having trouble finding the code that controls this. I looked at this PR, but seems like many things have changes since this, as I couldn't find the code that was added in this said PR. Any help will be helpful :)

@annieappflowy I played with AppFlowy manual build a bit and noticed that the checkboxes do work. The only problem is that the unchecked checkbox appears for - [] instead of - [ ] (the space between the brackets).

I looked in the editor code a bit and there seems to be no problem in it. I will look into more depth and let you know.

Hey, @literalEval. Because the (whitespace) is the event that triggers the conversion, I have implemented this logic and assume that this task has been completed.

const _checkboxListSymbols = ['[x]', '-[x]'];
const _unCheckboxListSymbols = ['[]', '-[]'];

@literalEval thanks for helping out. I didn't know we supported -[] for the checkbox. I'm closing this issue.
