Markdown checklists should not show bullets

[damufo]

The current markdown preview render is showing bullets:

• checked list item
• unchecked list item

↓↓↓

The bullets are hidden in most implementations, including GitHub, which is the original.

Interesting. However I often mix regular and task items in bulleted lists. That would look odd then, or there would have to be a special case for bulleted lists with just tasks.

github implementation

• item one
• item two
• item three
• item four
• item five

When no task show bullet.

Github seems to show a bulleted task with the syntax - - [ ] or * * [ ]

• task with - [ ]
• • task with - - [ ]
• regular bulleted item

(Actually in the posted comment it does not look as nice as in the preview so it might not be "official" syntax?)

[damufo]

• item
• • item2

• Iem 3
• • Item 4

- [ ] item
-  - [ ] item2
* [ ] Iem 3 
* *  [ ] Item 4

I also tend to think the checkboxes should not be preceded with the bullets while rendered. If we make such change, I would like to see some proper alignment of the items values (see below the poor's man vizualization to get the idea of what I mean; even GitHub have it wrong and ugly - we should do better 😃 ):

The ordinary

- [x] task item
- list item
- list item
- [ ] task item
- list item

will show up aligned nicely:

[x] task item
 •  list item
 •  list item
[ ] task item
 •  list item

(Not sure how to achieve it. Perhaps throw some grid to it? Some CSS mastery is probably needed...)

Sadly with the way CodeMirror generates HTML this may not be that easy to perfectly align, but worth a shot.
