Do task list checkboxes render in the PDF?

Yes. GFM task lists render as checkbox glyphs — unchecked for open items, filled for completed ones — so the exported minutes show action-item status at a glance.

One file per meeting or one running file?

One file per meeting. A running file grows unsearchable, and per-meeting files let you export exactly one meeting as PDF. Name files by date: 2026-07-05-product-sync.md.

What if nobody reads the minutes?

Shrink them. The Decisions and Action Items sections alone are useful minutes; the Discussion section is optional detail. A ten-line file people read beats a two-page file they skip.

Can I track action items across weeks?

Yes — carry unfinished items forward when you duplicate the template, and mark them done with [x] where they complete. For anything beyond a handful of items, promote them to your real task tracker.
