The problem there is that a square bracket at the beginning of an item can prevent you from exporting the document, which is clearly a bug. >> Unfortunately, I can't see how to not break your documents if we fix the >> problem. > > If this is considered a problem, and you intend to fix it, then there is > no way to avoid causing me difficulties. I'd like to fix it, yes. It will not help you with older documents, but what do you think about the export snippet exception I suggested? > Although I would obviously prefer to keep the status quo, as I find > this "feature" convenient, please don't let the inconvenience to me > stop you fixing this. It won't take me that long to fix. I'm open to alternative solutions. Though, I'd like to have a solution pushed to maint before Emacs release. >> The problem is not the checkbox but what comes after. > > I am not sure what you mean here? Not much. We want to take action when item's contents start with a square bracket. But that will not happen if that item already has a checkbox (in this case, contents first character doesn't mean much).
