Perhaps it’s the hangover but… huh? I don’t get it. Please help. Kind regards.

Lemmy supports subscript!
H~2~O~2~
displays as H~2~O~2~.FiskFisk33@startrek.website 6 months ago

And on kbin it shows as strikethrough, so the 2s are crossed out.

Now all I want is inline TeX.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I do quite like how clear TeX is. The curly braces make it completely unambiguous how everything is supposed to be parsed, which means even though it’s a little more awkward to write, it’s still a lot easier to write if your comments are getting more complicated. Plus it’s so much easier for the parsing libraries to get right.

Your example doesn’t work for me but the one above is shown in superscript
Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh that’s quite weird. What client is that?
jaybone@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Shows as superscript on Memmy.

Works on Voyager at least.

Hey @ljdawson@lemmy.world this formatting doesn’t seem to work in Sync :)
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 6 months ago
You need to surround the text. H~2~O~2~ = H~2~O~2~.

Your example is also rendered
Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Huh? I know some clients fail to properly display superscript and subscript (which shouldn’t be a problem since it would be the same for my text as for the above text anyway), but I didn’t think there were any clients that would choose to render code snippets as formatted text. Anyway, here’s a screenshot of how it should look:

Worked in Voyager iOS at least, very cool

Neat

Hydrogen peroxide, right?

The setup is the same as another joke, where the second person asks for H2O too, and get served poison.
BennyInc@feddit.de 6 months ago
He expected an „I’ll have H2O, too“
