It makes markdown look like it should on the terminal
Markdown would be better if everyone using it used the same markdown. I swear no two places use it the same.
true though
Markdown…is…plaintext, though?
yup but with more tricks
Markdown is text that can kick flip
I write plain text. I just happen to format it like markdown.
Ngl plain txt is the best . But not for writing blog . Need something like # for headings and stuff . To make my blog portable i don’t use mardow much just # for heading and # for tag
I wouldn’t dare try to understand the mind that thinks that Markdown is at all like html. 🤷♂️
They are both at the end of the day UTF-8 text.
All we are is bytes in the wind
Your mom is Unicode Text.
They’re almost the same thing, so this kinda’ hits like two people arguing over which shitbox $300 car they drive is faster…

Markdown is so annoying. I wanted to record a command in Joplin and had the audacity to make it bold to highlight something. Pasted it into their terminal and it put a bunch of asterisks in. Thanks.
Try pasting commands into
code blocks.It does format text in the editor pane by default now but uses a big warning with a button to disable it.
However, the built-in code highlighter, much like in many Lemmy frontends, highlights some words/symbols depending on the default language. Therefore, it's best to not use 4 spaces at the start of each line for a code block.Instead, this one starts with "```text" and ends with "```". No extra indents and I get to specify the highlighting language!
