Description

First of all, thank you for this cool application! It lets me deal with notes on my iPad without having to resort to the Apple Cloud. However, I do have a Suggestion for improvement.

Nextcloud Notes lets you write notes in Markdown. If you do checkboxes in markdown, I.e. „[ ]“ or „[x]“, the Webinterface will instead render them as checkboxes and even let you click (mouse) or tap (iPad) them, to mark them as checked or unchecked. Markdown editors on the computer often also either do this or offer a hotkey to un/check these checkboxes. However, CloudNotes actually requires you to navigate the cursor in between the brackets and replace the space character or x character with the respective other character.

Can you please bring the „render as checkbox and tap to un/check“ functionality to CloudNotes?

Research direction

Start by locating the Markdown rendering and note-editing entry points in the iOS app. Done means Markdown checkbox syntax renders as an interactive checkbox and tapping or clicking it toggles the checked state without requiring cursor editing.
