Comment on Does the average person know markdown?

And yet you just used it! Some parts of markdown were made to be intuitive and natural like:

Numbering your items
will automatically format them
into ordered lists

and if you use - it’s an unordered list

same with asterisk

Sort:hotnew top

It’s all perfectly[^1] intuituve.

[^1]: for certain definitions of perfect.

And then other parts of it are just infuriating. Like how if you try to post song lyrics or something, the markdown just mashes every sentence together in one line for some reason. So you have to know the secret code just to make gdamn new lines. I actually pressed enter to go to a new line 5 times in this paragraph but it comes out all jumbled together after posting.

As far as I’m concerned, I shouldn’t need to know some special formatting just for return to work properly.

Still don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

  Maybe it’s just some form of problem solving/way to sort your thoughts or options?
