I know you've had some answers but if you want exactly what you
specified in LaTeX, the following will do it:

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* intro
This is a list
=2D @@latex:[\(\checkmark\)]@@ and so on
=2D normal item
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


(I don't have Checkmark defined so used checkmark instead)

=2D-=20
