Markdown checkbox-How to draw checkbox or tick mark in GitHub Markdown table?

3.1K    Asked by SanjayDutt in Python , Asked on Apr 18, 2021

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 the table. Does anybody know how to implement checkbox or checkmark in GitHub Markdown table?

| Object Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | [x] item1[ ] item2
| Object Cache | > 5 hours | | in progress | - [x] item1- [ ] item2
