one thing to remember is that alot of Lemmy supports markdown
Given that Jebora has markdown support, just throwing a few bits in here… bold and italic - li item 1 - li item 2 > Quote # heading link [Https://example.com] inline code Code block javascript // Not trying xss just doing examples alert("example") strike sub up
Its because they created a special syntax for ~sub~ ^up^ and

Thanks alot
Oof broken link.
But for anyone who wonders, here’s the original source of the meme:
~sub~ should have two ~
~~sub~
I guess ^up^ should have two ^ as well?
^^up^^
The only two things formatting makdown consistently, for now, are Jerboa and the web interfaces.
I’ve been posting a lot of poetry using some markdown witchery to format, only to realize that some interfaces show all of the markdown even inside the post itself. Jerboa will show it in the summary tile before you click in, but it does format.
Curiously enough, it only has Markdown support once you are inside the Thread:
One thing I've never been enthusiastic about has been Markdown's auto-renumbering support. I have never seen someone really being happy with the implementation and lots of people frustrated as they try to embed numbered items and get them renumbered.

Usually came up on Reddit when someone wants to quote a single item in a numbered list from some external text, quotes only that, and it gets renumbered...and they don't know how to backslash-escape the period to avoid the thing:
1\. First
1\. Second

It looks like kbin also does the auto-renumbering. Dunno about lemmy. Kind of the one element of Markdown that I'd be happy to see die. I don't mind having a syntax for auto-numbered lists -- I just don't think that using an actual number as prefix to indicate that that should happen is a reasonable way to go about it.
Markdown is pretty ‘dumb’ in that it simply uses regular expressions to detect markdown tags/structures and then translates them into corresponding html elements. So when it sees subsequent lines each starting with a ‘{number}{dot}{space}’ it determines that it’s supposed to be a numbered list, so it translates that to an html ordered list. The numbers in an ordered list are not there if you look at a page source, they’re only being rendered by your browser starting with ‘1’ by default.
With all that being said, HTML5 supports overriding default values in an ordered list, so with additional logic in the markdown parser having numbers out of order could be done.
That reminds me of the threads/comments about the spoiler tagging in Lemmy being broken in many apps, hopefully that’ll be worked out sooner than later.
