There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

This has most of the extended syntax, including footnotes[^1]. I use the syntax highlighting quite often, and a few markdown editors/previewers support mermaid.js which is pretty cool if you need a simple diagram and you don't want to mess around with a more complex app.
[^1]: If you are talking about Lemmy formatting specifically, I don't think it's feature complete yet, but it does support some things that aren't documented

==Important text == can be highlighted. I actually didnโt know about this one
Here's a sentence with a footnote. [^1]
[^1]: This is the footnote.
==Highlight==
Doesnt render for me here on Lemmy but I do believe I used to ve able to use it in Logseq or Obsidian
It renders in Obsidian but not Blorp
Ill bite: wats blorp?
Only the best Lemmy/PieFed client of all time. Which is my definitely unbiased opinion as the creator of Blorp.
Good catch! Iโll see if I can fix that in the next release of Blorp.
Edit: on second thought, let me double check what other Lemmy/PieFed clients do. I would hate to encourage users to use a syntax if it looks broken on other clients. In general, if the official UI supports something then we will support it.
```language name
syntax highlighted text
```
string code = "highlighted";
SELECT example FROM knowledge WHERE actualSource = StackOverflow
+ added examples
- removed mistakes
Mermaid diagrams, where supported, I feel are invaluable in tech.
