Gfx / screencap on Markdown 4 toot I shall link in a bit

https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#unordered-lists

The image displays a mobile phone screen with a dark background. At the top, the status bar shows the time as 06:57, battery level at 89%, and various icons including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and signal strength. Below the status bar, the title "Emphasis" is prominently displayed in white text, followed by a subtitle explaining that emphasis can be added by making text bold or italic.

The main content area is divided into sections. The first section, titled "Bold," explains how to bold text by adding two asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase. It also mentions that to bold the middle of a word for emphasis, two asterisks without spaces around the letters should be used. Below this explanation, there is a table with three columns labeled "Markdown," "HTML," and "Render Output." The table demonstrates examples of bold text in Markdown and their corresponding HTML and rendered output. The examples include:

"I just love bold text."
"I just love bold text."
"Love*is*bold."

The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with a home icon, a search bar displaying "markdownguide.org," and a back button.

TIL: If you are using a language server capable of autoformatting, formatting your whole file in Neovim is as easy as calling vim.lsp.buf.format().

And since LSP formatters use edit commands instead of replacing your whole file, Neovim can keep track of the cursor position, marks, and all kinds of other stuff that wasn't possible with just `:%!formatter`.

I've replaced my custom tiny autoformatting plugin with this and I don't regret it.

minor formatting issue on a review of a battery powered nail gun lol

screenshot of a product review showing a 'Pro' (in favor) condition that reads with line breaks making it seem like it's a Pro that the battery catches fire!

I've just finished reading this blog post regarding the markdown Syntax by RL Dane

He is also given a brief history of the Computing Hardware and software that he has used ever since he was a little Padawan.

The blog post is just a few minutes to read and you shall learn something good from it.

TLDR is; use {smackdown} markdown for everything you write that needs formatting and be truly platform independent in your formatted text creation.

When you truly understand what he means, it is literal total freedom with formatted text and you don't even need to learn tex or LaTeX, since you will not be writing a book.

When you do that you will have to read my posts regarding tex and LaTeX, and those are blog posts I haven't released.

For me markdown has been important, ever since I was working on waffle bulletin boards many many decades ago

*Bold* _underline_ /italic/ was the syntax that we used back then.

Our waffle bulletin board had a special text formatting routine which Made these codes look like they were actually bold underline and italic when we were viewing those emails.

On the #AmIRC channel on Dalnet we also had a formatting routines for our clients, mine was AmIRC that converted these codes in a similar fashion.

So in true Essence markdown has been with us for a very very long time; we just didn't call it markdown then but we made sure that our text formatting had nothing to do with the computer platform we happen to be typing on.

Do be so kind to explain to me like I'm five, what you've written here in the code block

Do you use a special client to get the markdown language or do you know it by heart?

an email from my medical provider had a weird formatting glitch I've never seen before. (an 'email'/message in their online portal so technically a web page)

The words 'medications you' are smashed together such that the s of medications and the y of you are superimposed on each other, but if I select/copy/paste it's correct

'medications you'

a screen shot of an email from my medical provider with an odd formatting glitch. It is just black text with white background.

Just discovered a neat little feature of GitLab. If you copy cells from a spreadsheet app like LibreOffice Calc and paste it in a comment there, it turns into a nicely formatted Markdown table.

Does not work as well with other forge software I know of. GitHub does not format the table and adds some weird HTML, and Forgejo just pastes it as an image.

#GitLab #Markdown #spreadsheet #LibreOffice #formatting #forge

A spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, with cells B2 to D7 filled and selected. The first column is labelled Number and has the numbers 100 to 500 in steps of 100. The second column is labelled Square and has the numbers in the first column squared. The third column is labelled Cube and has the numbers in the first column cubed.

The data from the previous image pasted into a comment in GitLab. It is converted into a Markdown table, properly formatted so that all the pipe '|' characters align vertically.
