    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.

        If they wanted to make a specific part of the command bold, that still wouldn’t work.

        Could underline the part, I guess, like this:

        ls -la
   ###

        (# starts a comment in shell syntax, so doesn’t get run, in case someone pastes the whole thing.)

      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!

      Edit: Damn

      Hmm, interesting. I always write Markdown unformatted, so where I put the asterisks in myself. So, that’s a decent reality check, I guess.
