Markdown

[AGD]

Not a feedback but a suggestion. I think it would be nice if new site would support previews for markdown. Maybe it could be added as a bbcode [markdown]# Markdown Text[/markdown].

It has markdown!

I have enabled it now, but so far it's only in threads and posts. I will need to do coding to add it to the pastebin and bundle descriptions. You just start typing markdown and it works, there's no tag. It gets converted to BB Code.

 

[AGD]

Oh that's good to know =), will be testing it. Can you use both markdown and bbcode in the same post?

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem.

@Ralle Some markup features doesn't work. Here are a list of them:
- Headings
- Nested/Multilevel lists
- Ordered/numbered lists
- Nested quotes
- Horizontal rules
- Tables

You can see the input -> output here

 

[Ralle]

Not all of this is standard markdown. Tables, inline images. There are many branches of Markdown and I don't think the XenForo devs are able to support it all AND their own BB Code format.

Right, after checking the standard markdown here, these are the ones left not working:
- Headings
- Numbered lists
- Horizontal Rules
The inline images are working btw.

 

[Ralle]

Yeah, weird that they don't have numered lists. I think with headings and horizontal rulers its because there isn't a bbcode for headings or rulers.
