I'm updating the markdown parser and want to be sure I'm handling all new types of links e.g. links to communities or users.

If you can please comment any examples I'll add support.

Cheers, Lj!

lemmy also (unofficially) supports footnotes.[^1] you may want to view this in a browser^[as it currently doesn't render in any mobile clients]^[also note the differing positions of the caret]

additionally, with no markdown linking at all, the web interface^[and i believe most apps] automatically turns [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) into a link

[^1]: with two different syntaxes

Shrug emote in backticks: ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

subscript and superscript don't work for me on Jerboa

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Same on Thunder. Also, the spoiler isn't hidden.

Same on Connect

The only user in this thread who understood the assignment

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean, this isn't terribly unimportant. There definitely should be an option to view all links to lemmy communities/users through your home instance when linked like this.

Not necessarily on topic for this thread, but still...

Lemmy spoilers have different syntax compared to reddit:

This is a spoiler hiding some text
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For some reason, spoiler tags don't work on my end. I use Connect.

Very few clients support the custom ones, e.g.

^sup^

~sub~

ThisOne

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

None of these work in liftoff

Wow, this rendered as a gif on my client (Connect). Did you just write it as an emoji?

That makes me realize that a "view raw" or "view code" button would be awesome.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You can Copy Text and get the raw markdown version on Connect

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I knew about that, but I didn't know custom emojis were global. Cool feature!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I type : and then the custom emoji name, Lemmy Website Auto completes the markdown for it.

Something I haven't seen most apps do (but the webui does) is converting (tm) => (tm)

no clue if there are similar substitutions out there, would probably need to check the code to confirm

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

#i take it back third image in link is NSFW when I copied the code for some reason! It's just rick roll on the actual link though? Sorry, this formatting is still new to me.

Testing from this post (nsfw instance, but sfw post showing markdown for multiple photos)
