Help needed with markdown support

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] into a link: ![email protected]

Testing some code syntax highlighting (may or may not work depending on UI being used):

fn blah(a: u32) -> Result {
  Ok(a*2)
}

function blah(a) {
  return a*2;
}

Nested (more backticks on our fence nest lesser backticks inside):

I'm on the beta version and here are the issues that I notice. The first horizontal line make the text bold instead of making a line. I think that you cannot "close" a subscript or a superscript. I find the copy block button a bit too large. I think that you used the wrong spoiler tag.

Here below my test on the beta version:

!This is a spoil!<

~x = x^2

Any way, I give my energy to the sync developer and testers ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

I am not yet subscribed in the Canada community in lemmy.ca, but I should not.

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:

::: spoiler 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

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

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.

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

This syntax automatically converted to a link on the web that will open on a users home instance:

This syntax does NOT convert to a link:

kopper [they/them]
lemmy.blahaj.zone

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

#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)
