I am able to draw checkbox in Github README.md lists using
- [ ] (for unchecked checkbox)
- [x] (for checked checkbox)
But this is not working in table. Does anybody know how to implement checkbox or checkmark in GitHub Markdown table?

Try adding a -
before the []
or [x]
. That’s an -
followed by a blank space .
Below is an example from Github blog.
### Solar System Exploration, 1950s – 1960s
- [ ] Mercury
- [x] Venus
- [x] Earth (Orbit/Moon)
- [x] Mars
- [ ] Jupiter
- [ ] Saturn
- [ ] Uranus
- [ ] Neptune
- [ ] Comet Haley
It appears like below:
Here’s how one could do the same in a table:
| Task | Time required | Assigned to | Current Status | Finished |
|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------|-----------|
| Calendar Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | - [x] ok?
| Object Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | [x] item1<br/>[ ] item2
| Object Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | <ul><li>- [x] item1</li><li>- [ ] item2</li></ul>
| Object Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | <ul><li>[x] item1</li><li>[ ] item2</li></ul>
- [x] works
- [x] works too
Here’s how it looks:
