the language is called "Markdown", same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown#Examples
Discord markdown and reddit markdown aren't the same markdown, which I only know because I try to use ^ to make smaller words but discord won't do it.
I wonder ^if ^^lemmy ^^^let's ^^^^me ^^^^^do ^^^^^^this
It certainly does not. Maybe that's just a reddit thing. Or my app doesn't support it, idk.
Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags
True, I feel boost is really lacking in displaying correctly markdown. Spoilers not being hidden are really annoying.
For reference this post highlights Lemmy apps on how accurately they display markdown. And this comment use all markdown to test how your current app is rendering them.
This guide for the Lemmy dialect looks to be reasonably comprehensive:

Because markdown by itself is more of a set of suggestions than hard rules. Kinda like saying that Americans and Australians both speak English and the basic syntax is the same, and you can go outside with a fag wearing only thongs with both, but...
Even reddit has two, new and old reddit use completely different parsers and result in different ouputs.
It shows correctly on sync
Neither PC nor Jerboa show that getting increasingly smaller and higher for me.
Thank you for the link. It has some examples, I guess that's what I'm asking for, and obviously what is included could be tweaked based on Lemmy differences, exclude things that are already in the quick format bar, etc.
