Inconsistent Checklist Boxes

[NewHero 58]

The first checklist box in a horizontal list like this looks different.

You are using different types of checkmarks as EN10 uses two different modes for these:

• ✅ (Checklist) in front of lines
  • default, inserted by CTRL-SHIFT-C
    • anywhere in text
  • or by typing "[]" or "[x]" (without surrounding quotes)
    • at the beginning of a line
• ❎ (Checkbox) anywhere within text
  • inserted by round icon with "+" -> "Checkbox"
  • or by typing "[]" or "[x]" (without surrounding quotes)
    • ... not at the beginning of a line

Maybe different position and color of the (unchecked) checkmarks is by intent. If you check the boxes, you can see the difference more obvious (see above 😉)

A check box places at the start of a line will convert to a checklist.

Try replacing the first box with a period/full stop or a dash/hyphen followed by a check box.

My favorite thing to do in these cases is to use a bullet list and then a checkbox, like this:

To reiterate somewhat from what has already been said: this is a checklist:

And looks like this:

This is a checkbox:

@NewHero You are mixing checkboxes and checklists together. As has been mentioned, you get funny auto-conversion behavior when using a checkbox at the beginning of a line with no formatting in front of it (to prevent it from being converted to a checklist).
