I'm not sure if you're still monitoring this or if I should make new thread.
I just encountered a comment where they included a link with brackets in the url and it didn't parse for me in Sync. I assumed it needed escape characters , which did make it a working link for me in app, but I got curious and checked the website and the original link worked fine there. Maybe the Lemmy web ui will escape characters in links by default?
Any progress being made here? I was really hoping that not being able to view certain communities such as [email protected] would be considering bad enough of a bug to bring a little development back.
Yup. I'm in the process of ripping out the old markdown processor.
Hey! Good to hear from you. Hope you took some good time for yourself. I appreciate the progress update on the merkdown.
I've been flat out on new features. Just finishing up a built in ad blocker เผผ ใค โ_โ เผฝใค
What's it gonna do? ๐ Hopefully block ads for web pages you're viewing?
Yup. Even managed to get websites caching and working offline too.
Any way you can block the "sign up for the newsletter" type dialogs that websites like to have? Lol

Saw this comment in the wild which does not appear correct in Sync.

In Sync it looks like this:
On Lemmy via browser, it looks like this:
+1 for this, would be nice to have proper lemmy style spoilers.
This in-line animation doesn't work but when you tap on it there preview is fine
Funny stuff is happening with the spoilers in this comment, they aren't rendering as spoilers on the first two but tapping the actual spoilers removes the broken spoiler characters around the first two lines? Really strange: https://lemmy.world/comment/10822445

Superscript was reported as ^not working^
Lemmy-ui uses markdown-it-sup, so I think superscript should work on a single word like this: ^superscript^ . It won't work if there is a space in the superscript text: ^this wont work^ . Each word must be enclosed with superscript tags: ^this^ ^should^ ^work^
The bullet points in my comment here render correctly in the official Lemmy frontend, but not in Sync: https://lemmy.world/comment/6271596
I think a way to make them work is to add two spaces after each line. Here's a test...
Hopefully that works.
It did :-)
That's a placebo and it's not doing anything. Bulleted lists never need two spaces at the end of each line. You only use two spaces at the end of line that are not in bulleted or numbered lists.
The bug is that Sync requires a blank line before you start the bulleted list. The Lemmy website doesn't require that.
Here is your comment with no spaces at the end of each line:
spaces after each line. Here's a test...
See? It still works fine.
Now here's an example of what two spaces do.
The first sentence below has a new line after each word but no spaces. The second sentence has two spaces and a new line after each word. The spaces force a line break to be rendered.

This feature of markdown was implemented to prevent text from emails and such from wrapping in funny ways when pasted into a comment (or whatever). Old emails often force line breaks after 80 columns of text and it looks goofy when viewed in a modern web browser if those line breaks are kept, so they are ignored. To preserve the line breaks, you add two spaces at the end of each line. That or you might prefer to write paragraphs with a hard wrap at some column, but other people shouldn't have to suffer that.
Adding the two spaces to lines in a bulleted list does nothing useful, but it also doesn't break it, so of course it works.
