I know there’s probably a good technical or historical explanation, but it’s very irritating to copy/paste text into Lemmy to have it looking like poo after posting. Is there an Android editor that will add double spaces to ends of lines so it’s wysiwyg? Bonus if it will also insert "> " at the beginning of lines for quoting selected blocks of text. Maybe this can be done with a JavaScript webpage?
I kind of understand what you’re saying. But in an age of smartphones, I have to manually add double spaces at the end of every line for the end product to display as it appears when editing it. This probably seems trivial and stupid for folks on desktop, but even Discord has this figured out. Is this something that needs to be added at the app level?
Well, using markdown on a phone is like hammering screws into a wall, so don’t complain when the pictures fall off the wall.
I’m not sure how it’s more or less trivial if you’re using a phone or desktop. In either case it’s extremely trivial.
Maybe markdown-friendly keyboard apps exist for your phone?
They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t make markdown work for my specific use case??
