A trait to extend [cebe/markdown](https://github.com/cebe/markdown) with [Task Lists support](https://github.blog/2013-01-09-task-lists-in-gfm-issues-pulls-comments).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

PHP 7.1 or higher is required to use it.

```
composer require kirra/markdown-task-lists
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To parse a Task List you need to make your own parser, and let it `use` the [TaskListsTrait]('./src/TaskListsTrait.php').

```
class MyParser extends \cebe\markdown\Markdown {
	use Kirra\Markdown\TaskListsTrait;
}

$parser = new MyParser();
$parser->parse("- [ ] Open"); // Will return a list with an open checkbox.
```

Everything after the checkbox will be parsed as inline elements. So you can still apply every inline style your parser supports.

Usage in your own parser
------------------------

[](#usage-in-your-own-parser)

If you build a fully custom parser, make sure it includes `cebe\markdown\block\ListTrait`, as the checkbox only works within a list.
