Markdown tasks lists don't work if description starts with parentheses
- [ ] item a
- [ ] item b
- [ ] (this was done elsewhere) item c
- [ ] item d
Renders as:
-
item a -
item b -
(this was done elsewhere) item c -
item d
This is because:
[a link] (or is it?)
Renders as a link in GitLab and GitHub, but not in the original Markdown or in CommonMark. Maybe this is fine, but I found it pretty confusing.
