Ichimatsu
Ichimatsu is a library for transforming normal browser lists into checklists and remembering them.
To Use
Just include a script tag at the bottom of your <body>:
<script src="ichimatsu.js"></script>It will automatically apply itself to any <li> elements.
Rationale and details
Suppose you have a list in your browser:
<li>Osomatsu</li>
<li>Karamatsu</li>
<li>Choromatsu</li>
<li>Ichimatsu</li>
<li>Juushimatsu</li>
<li>Todomatsu</li>And you want to make it into a checklist. Github flavored markdown supports this as "task lists", but many markdown processors don't recognize the syntax. Even if they do, because your choices aren't saved they're of limited use as a checklist. But what if there was a workaround? This is where Ichimatsu comes in.
If you run a Github-style task list through a markdown processor that doesn't recognize the syntax, it looks like this in the browser:
<li>[ ] Osomatsu</li>
<li>[ ] Karamatsu</li>
<li>[ ] Choromatsu</li>
<li>[x] Ichimatsu</li>
<li>[ ] Juushimatsu</li>
<li>[ ] Todomatsu</li>If you load Ichimatsu in the browser it will find these and turn the brackets
into a checkbox. Additionally, it will use localStorage to save the checkbox
state, so as long as you use the same browser you can save your checks even if
you close the window or what have you.
