Hey there it would be nice if the Bookstack Community could implement more Markdown Features like Checkboxes, Tabs and Keyboard Keys like in Wiki JS

This would be very nice and would improve the Workflow.

Thanks for the request @Y0ngg4n. Checkboxes should be possible in the current release via the - [ ] syntax

That said, For BookStack I stick to commonmark in an effort to keep to a standard. We have expose some editor hooks for customization of the underlying markdown-it front-end rendering and I'm currently working how to expose the back-end markdown renderer for more customization, otherwise I don't want to expand out support much further than commonmark in the core project.

@ssddanbrown As far as i can test it checkboxes are not working:

I am using Bookstack Version BookStack v0.31.6 with Docker

Ok i understand you viewpoint. Would be nice if you get it finished so we can customize the renderer :)

Will therefore close this off.

In regards to the checkboxes, You'd just need some content after the square brackets:
