Partial checkbox support

Hey Hugo community,

I was already in the progress of creating a Github Issue but saw the link to the Forum here so I decided to kick of a little discussion around my idea.

On my Hugo site I add a lot of lists with checkboxes. I also make use of partial checkboxes:

- [ ] Unfinished
- [/] Started but not finished
- [x] Finished

When using partial checkboxes with Hugo it seems to just render the text [/]. HTML5 would support that feature with the ‘indeterminate’ state. Sadly it is only available through JavaScript not through html alone. See here for reference.

Now I would very much like this feature added to Hugo, but I also see the problem that it isn’t really static when JavaScript is forced for a feature. Is that something that could be considered or is it off the table just based on JavaScript?

That one.
