So let’s make this a feature request:

### Feature: add special notation to keep bullet points in checkbox-lists

If there is a list of checkboxes right now the list is shown without bullet points.

```plaintext
- [] point 1
  - [] point 2
    - [] point 3
      - [] point 4

```

- point 1
  - point 2
    - point 3
      - point 4

Adding a single quote (e.g. Excel _text without formatting_) in front of the checkbox is already disabling this feature and bullet points are visible, but additionally the single quote should be removed.

```plaintext
- '[] point 1
  - '[] point 2
    - '[] point 3
      - '[] point 4

```

- ' point 1
  - ' point 2
    - ' point 3
      - ' point 4

```md
<!---
This markdown code:
-->

- '[] point

```

```html
<!-- should become HTML: (note: no single quote visible) -->
<ul>
  <li><span class="chcklst-box fa fa-square-o fa-fw"></span> point</li>
</ul>

<!-- instead of this HTML: (note: single quote still visible) -->
<ul>
  <li>'<span class="chcklst-box fa fa-square-o fa-fw"></span> point</li>
</ul>

```
