RichTextEditor 2.6.3

Markdown task lists round-trip, and escaped characters import as themselves.

2.6.3

GFM task lists round-trip Markdown

A todo item exports as - [x] / - [ ] and imports back to the same checkbox markup, nested tasks included. A normal list stays a normal list.

Escaped characters and angle brackets Fix

Backslash-escaped Markdown characters (* _ [) were parsed as formatting and leaked NUL bytes into the output; they now import as the literal character. A literal < or > in text no longer round-trips as an entity.
