PS. Please also provide an option to not use the WYSI(almost)WYG editor including the ability to preview a post.

  • Thank you, 1P_SimonH.

    If a fuller support of Markdown is challenging, then the one most significant missing item is `code` for a fixed-width typeface. This should be the simplest to implement.

    This is made more challenging by the editor offering "Preformatted" in the drop-down for new posts (and only for paragraph style), but offering only a minimal subset of the formatting toolbar for replies where Markdown and shortcuts offer different subsets of features.

  • Apparently it is impossible to effectively use markdown while in the WYSI(n't)WYG editor unless each is typed followed by a newline which starts a new paragraph, except for changing style and weight.

      Hi AJCxZ0,

      Thanks for giving the Markdown a thorough testing! I'll share this issue with the developers of the community platform to see if this is a known bug or if they have additional information they can share.
