@aeharding@lemmy.world Are there any plans to improve the current markdown support?
Currently, it seems that ~~strike through~~ and
escondido
spoiler textYes, there's plans for better support!
Unfortunately Lemmy uses a bespoke spoiler format that's hard to parse with the Markdown library we're using. I spent a day on that a month ago and gave up. I'll try again at some point.
I see, thanks for taking that into account. I understand the spoiler part is tricky because I usually type markdown without the GUI, but I’m not able to do it myself for the spoiler type (it seems it even uses the language or some strings to do it, because the : characters aren’t enough) 🤣
I’m not sure if the issue on your end is related to the spoiler being something like a collapsed span or something like that. How feasible would be if you were able to interpret everything between ::: ::: as spoiler and do it differently from Lemmy? (Maybe just hide the text).
But the strike through seems to me the typical markdown that I use on Obsidian, so it should be simple, I guess…
