### Task Lists (GFM Extension)

- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Incomplete task
  - [ ] Subtask 1
- [ ] Another incomplete task

> [!NOTE]
> Task lists are _not_ interactive checkboxes. They are rendered as static lists with checkboxes that are either checked or unchecked based on the markdown syntax.
>
> To create an interactive checklist, use a dynamic list from Node-RED using UIBUILDER features.

### Custom list styles

You can create custom styled lists using standard HTML
```html
<ul style="list-style-type: '🤔';">
    <li>Emoji bullets</li>
    <li>Another item</li>
</ul>
<ol style="list-style-type: upper-roman;">
    <li>Upper Roman numerals</li>
    <li>Another item</li>
</ol>
```
