new Checklists("article", function(checkbox, callback) {
var uri = checkbox.closest("article").find("h1 a").attr("href");
jQuery.get(uri, callback);
}, function(markdown, checkbox, callback) {
var uri = checkbox.closest("article").find("h1 a").attr("href");
jQuery.ajax({
type: "put",
uri: uri,
data: markdown,
success: callback
});
});

See included `checklists.js` for details.
