Markdown for check box seems inconsistent

[DuncanLithgow]

Steps to reproduce

Try and make a check box
- [ ] is the only syntax that works, but it creates a list item at the same time so i get a dash bullet list follow by a check box.

Expected behaviour

I should only get a task list

Actual behaviour

i get a dash bullet list follow by a check box.
what markdown specification is Notes using? I can't find it mentioned in the documentation & the syntax for check boxes doesn't follow the [syntax here on github](sudo -u www-data php occ config:list system). As far as I can see check boxes are not even part of the standard syntax https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax but part of an extended syntax https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#task-lists

If Notes cannot reference an existing standard then it needs it's own syntax guide.

You are mentioning many different issues:

That's true, but I don't see the problem. The edit mode is a combined source code editor with some (not all!) formatting visualization. It is not a full WYSIWYG editor! If you want to see the final result, you could switch to preview mode (using the three-dots menu or using CTRL+/). This difference can be also seen for headings (in edit mode, the # chars are visible) and for links (in edit more, the source code is shown).

There were plans to integrate Nextcloud Text which provides a WYSIWYG editor. But currently, there are still major drawbacks of this approach. Therefore, the current state will be kept until the problems of Nextcloud Text are solved. Please see #331 for more details about this.

There is already an open issue for this: #477

Notes app version: please add the program version to the 'settings' dialog. Otherwise only admins know the version.

I assume that only admins do report issues here. People who are not admin should first contact their local admin for first-level support.

I actually like all your replies, and am glad #477 is on the radar. Thanks for the hard work on making this tool I use every day.
