Checklist to Markdown

Turn a plain list into Markdown task lists, HTML checkboxes or a numbered outline.

Converting a plain list into a Markdown task list adds the checkbox syntax that GitHub, GitLab and most note applications render as interactive tick boxes. Indentation is preserved as nesting, and the same list can be emitted as bullets, HTML checkboxes or a numbered outline.
