Support all un-ordered list markers

[vorpalvorpal]

According to the markdown spec the following are all allowable syntax for unordered lists: *,-,+

At present, obsidian-task-marker only seems to recognise -

If I create the following list:

* item with an asterisk
- item with a dash
+ item with a plus

and then run the task-marker plugin on it I get:

* item with an asterisk
- [ ] item with a dash
+ item with a plus

I fixed this by changing lines 60-65 in main.js, which I believe correspond to lines 20-25 is taskmarker-TaskMarker.ts:

original:

    this.anyListItem = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*- )([^\\[].*)$/);
    this.anyTaskMark = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*- \[)(.)(\] .*)$/);
    this.blockQuote = new RegExp(/^(\s*>[\s>]*)(.*)$/);
    this.blockRef = new RegExp(/^(.*?)( \^[A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$/);
    this.continuation = new RegExp(/^( {2,}|\t)/);
    this.stripTask = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*-) \[.\] (.*)$/);

changed:

    this.anyListItem = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*[-+*] )([^\\[].*)$/);
    this.anyTaskMark = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*[-+*] \[)(.)(\] .*)$/);
    this.blockQuote = new RegExp(/^(\s*>[\s>]*)(.*)$/);
    this.blockRef = new RegExp(/^(.*?)( \^[A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$/);
    this.continuation = new RegExp(/^( {2,}|\t)/);
    this.stripTask = new RegExp(/^([\s>]*[-+*]) \[.\] (.*)$/);

That is changing the - in the regexs for anyListItem, anyTaskMark and stripTask to [-+*]

@vorpalvorpal Thank you for the request and code!

I also updated some other parts of the code (2c55c7b) and released a new version.

Can you test if it works for you?

Closing this for now. Please comment here if the new version does not satisfy your needs.
