Why the [ ]? This is no longer an issue/PR

If it's meant to be copied it should be a code block, otherwise it's not possible. In its current state, it just shows disabled checkboxes that can't be checked

It's a compromise between making it look good in markdown, and making the original copyable. Either you're reading the markdown in an editor and the original copyable is there, or you're on github interface and there is literally a button to switch to the original:

I question the usefulness of this and would probably vote to just remove this section altogether

I'm fine with removing it. It was a request from @bengl on my original slack thread.

I don't think he intended for people to click "edit source" to actually use it 😉

i'll have to let him say what he intended himself, don't wanna put words into his mouth. Although, once again it's not clicking "edit source", it's clicking the file then the tab "code", which is available for all markdown files to see the original code instead of the markdown render.

The intent of this is not to show it nicely, but to make it easy to copy into your PR. So if we want to keep it (which I still doubt the usefulness of), it should be turned into a code block. If you show it "nicely", many users will just be very confused about why they can't click the check boxes.
