Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
i have grown to like how easy it is to make a table in notes, then i had the brilliant idea (if i do say so myself) to create a testing matrix, where i can check off various combinations. To my surprise it note didn't seem to render checkboxes inside of tables

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see checkboxes rendered properly inside of tables

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried just plainly putting html checkboxes into the table, sadly that didn't work out. while manually putting checkmarks into each cell doesn't scale well as the matrix becomes bigger

Research direction

Locate the table-rendering entry point in the JavaScript application and verify how checkbox content is handled. Done means checkboxes render properly inside tables and existing table rendering remains intact.
