Write checklists in a markdown syntax and use icons like many Obsidian themes.

Usage

Take native bullet lists to the next level with checkboxes to keep track of tasks and other bullet points. This can be achieved by using the Markdown syntax and its extension from the Obisidan theme Minimal.

Example

#import "@preview/luzid-checkbox:0.1.0": luzid

#show: luzid

- [ ] task
- [x] done
- [>] rescheduled
- [<] scheduled
- [!] important
- [-] cancelled
- [/] progress
- [?] question
- [\*] star
- [n] note
- [l] location
- [i] information
- [I] idea
- [S] amount
- [p] pro
- [c] contra
- [b] bookmark
- [\"] quote
- [u] up
- [d] down
- [w] win
- [k] key
- [f] fire

Defaults

The default icons are from Lucide Icons and the colors from the latte palette of the catppuccin theme.

Configuration

The color, icon and styling for each type of box can be overwritten. Only the boxes specified get overwritten, the rest stays at the default values:

#import "@preview/luzid-checkbox:0.1.0": luzid

#show: luzid.with(
	color-map: (
		task: rgb("#0000ff"),
	),
	marker-map: (
		done: "icons/pin.svg", // path to a different icon
	),
	style-map: (
		important: it => text(weight: "bold")[#it], // wrapping function
	),
)

- [ ] Icon color
- [x] Icon
- [!] Styling

Custom icons

When a svg is detected, the template replaces the string "currentColor" inside the svg with the rgb-hex-value of the markers-color. Use this for changing the color of the icon.

Bonus

This also works when using the document converter pandoc to create PDF files from Markdown through typst. Pandoc replaces the the empty and checked boxes with ☐ (U+2610) and ☒ (U+2612). They too get replaced by their respective styles.
