Hi there. I’m trying to add strikethrough on completed tasks in the preview.
The following part didn’t work:

input[checked=true] + .task-list-item{
    text-decoration: line-through;
}

I’ve come up with this clumsy solution with the fixed width which I don’t really like:

.task-list-item input[checked=true]::after {
  content: "";
  width: 70vw;
  height: 0.2em;
  background: #005493;
  position: absolute;
  opacity: 0.7;
  visibility: visible;
  margin-left:16pt;
  margin-top:0.75em;
}

Maybe somebody has an idea how to do this in a proper way using text-decoration: line-through;. Thanks.

Sadly I don’t think there’s a way until we add a class to the text after the checkbox.

Ok, got it. Maybe this could be a feature request or a plugin then. I bet many would find this very convenient to cross out completed tasks in their checklists.

no news concerning easy strikethrough…?

I’m having trouble finding an answer on that, but this css snippet makes the checked task less visible. (leaving that “line-though” part in, hoping one day it starts working)

.markdown-preview-view ul > li.task-list-item.is-checked {
  opacity: 40%;
  text-decoration: line-through;
}
