Markdown...is...plaintext, though?
yup but with more tricks
I write plain text. I just happen to format it like markdown.
I wouldn't dare try to understand the mind that thinks that Markdown is at all like html. 🤷♂️
They are both at the end of the day UTF-8 text.
Your mom is Unicode Text.
They're almost the same thing, so this kinda' hits like two people arguing over which shitbox $300 car they drive is faster...

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.
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!
Try pasting commands into code blocks.
