Note: this is an experimental feature, subject to change or withdrawal.
From v10.0.0, in the text pane, Edit ▸ Insert ▸ Checkbox adds a checkbox to the text. Clicking on the checkbox checks and unchecks it. The list attribute $TextCheckboxes reflects the state of each checkbox in a note; the nth element is true if the checkbox is checked, and false otherwise.
From v10.1.0, there are a number of changes:
- After the Return ( ↩) key has been pressed, Tinderbox automatically inserts a checkbox if the previous line started with a checkbox. This simplifies making list of checkboxes in the text pane, which makes using them much nicer.
- Checkboxes are unchecked at creation; previously, they were checked.
- Checkboxes are update immediately after a copy/paste.
- Checkboxes are slightly larger. The size is based on the prevailing font setting, and is set to allow the checkmark top to align, at least approximately, with current font ascenders.
For the present, expressions and checkboxes embedded in the text are ignored on export.
