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?
“Supposed to”? That originated back before desktop publishing existed, when typed communication (as in typewriters) were only monospace, and adding 2 spaces between sentences made text easier to read.
In modern times (as in the past 30 years or so, i think), while adding 2 spaces between sentences might remain as a preference or in a style guide, you haven’t been “supposed to” do it.
Maybe now that markdown is so commonplace, it’ll make a return?
