I love markdown, but it's such a mess. There are too many competing specs out there. @ernest, have you worked with the Lemmy folks on this before? This is probably a lot lower priority than stability/performance/efficiency stuff you've got roadmapped, but it might be nice to try to build some consensus on a markdown spec amongst the community.

EDIT: actually, I should check the git repo and see if anyone has filed an issue. You're already way too busy and I've pinged you several times when I should have taken the initiative and filed issues myself. Sorry, Ernest!

Yikes, spoilers should definitely be supported, pop culture communities will want that.

Thanks, I was trying to figure out tables earlier!

After posting this, it seems like using newline (\ or two spaces) is a bit off. When placed after tables and codeblocks it displays the backslash. And the two spaces method doesn't actually do anything. A workaround is that you can put   and it will insert a space and newline.

And half of that doesn't work via jerboa lol
