Hey Bob,
I have a quick question related to the README of this package.
I see that you are using Rmd file that compiles to github md file. Pandoc doesn't necessarily translates everything in rmd to md, and one of those things are the checkboxes - [ ], and my understanding is that they don't really work with this approach (see here and here .
How did you manage to get the checkboxes to work? Some special pandoc workaround?
Sorry for opening an issue for this and spamming you with notifications, but this would be useful to know since I need to use workarounds which are not straightforward as writing a checkbox in markdown.
Cheers and thanks in advance!

They boxes won't show up at all in "preview" mode locally (i.e. in an RStudio viewer pane).
At some point (a while back) I noted that:
worked fine with
rmarkdown::github_documentoutput.pandocdidn't mess it up (which is what may have caused earlier incompatibility).
