==============
This is a first line This is a second line This is the third line.
==============
These all appear on the same line eventhough I wrote them on separate lines
If I add a “enter” after each line, they’ll appear on separate lines, but have white spaces in between.
==============
This is the first line
This is the second line
This is the third line.
===============
Now I only add two spaces behind each line and they’ll appear just as I wrote them
================
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third line.

You have given me power that I should not have.

ITT people realising what markdown is.
One time on Reddit there was a whole thread dedicated to how awful and arbitrary and stupid the “undocumented” comment feature was.
I just linked the markdown docs and got downvoted to hell because “reading the manual is unintuitive”
Comments truly did kill that platform
M.A.G.I.C
Markdown’s
Actually
Good
In
Comments#IKR
Reddit was like that too.
Because the line break in markdown is two spaces.
Markdown is pretty great to work with.
You can also put a backslash before a newline, like this
Line1\ Line2\ Line3Looks like this:
Line1
Line2
Line3Without the backslashes: Line1 Line2 Line3
With two newlines:
Line1
Line2
Line3
Also check out this Markdown tutorial , it’s very helpful.
Discovered this as well the other day. Much better for me, since you can see it, and also 2 spacebar hits on mobile makes a full-stop/period for me.
Same, I actually do three spaces if you count the full-stop. (I didn’t count it)
This does not seem to render as intended in Sync. It’s like the opposite effect. The backslashes are showing in the comments, but invisible in the code blocks lol.
This assumes your Lemmy client uses a good markdown library.
Yes, this assumes you’re using a good Lemmy client
This assumes you’re using a client.
Look behind you.OH YOUR GOD!
NO!
THE HORROR!
How often do you get to use this awesome picture? =D
Imagine needing a client, real lemmings use the API directly with cURL
What colour are your programmer socks
I don’t have any TwT
Might buy them at some point to gain a 200% programming boost, and of course paired with a skirt.
A simple search for lemmy markdown would tell you all the different textual options for a clean Lemmy comment/post
This is standard markdown behavior. It was like this on reddit and many other places, too.
One of the things I don’t like about markdown. Carriage returns are just built into most languages now. I shouldn’t have to use double spaces (which put auto periods in on iOS and Android) or a slash to get the same effect. That’s counterintuitive.
It’s a feature. The / means you can write your lines as long as you editor Windows is, but when someone rendering it as rtf they cannot just wrapper it any way they want. Doesn’t matter if they’re reading it in portrait view or landscape
I think word wrapping is automatically assumed is the default. I’m not aware of any rtf editors that don’t display wrapped as the default.
I wrote out a whole massive reply that ended with ‘and there’s no real reason to break this…’ and then I thought… But really? Actually there are so many form factors in which you can view Lemmy that ‘pre-rendering’ the line breaks makes basically no sense, and I can’t think of many tools or typing habits that would otherwise introduce them
I didn’t know this, and I found it super helpful!
I also didn’t know about backslashes
I just used double carriage returns like a wild savage!Thanks very much :)
Hey I posted this super secret hack yesterday or the day before here on Lemmers in a comment.
Oh
My
God
This is awesomeOk this was awesome. I wondered what I was doing wrong.

FUCK YEAAAAAHHH
I always defaulted to a bullet list.
No moreYou can also add a \ to the end
of the lines and have only single spaced
line breaksThough I think they may break in one of the mobile apps with a funky markdown interpreter.
Edit: For clarity, here’s the same lines in a codeblock
You can also add a \ to the end\ of the lines and have only single spaced\ line breaksWell, I think
That changes How I write some stuffedit: the 2 white spaces didn’t work
edit2: the white spaces have to be on the PREVIOUS line, not “behind”, which I thought meant “start the line with 2 spaces”I edited my original to clarify. Thanks!
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who sold crabs from out of a bucket
He made seven pence
and took home the scents
He thought he’d become Warren BuffettThere once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket
His daughter named Nan
Ran off with a man
And as for the cash, Nantucket
I couldn’t get it to work.
I’m on sync and my formatting had to be
<Text [Space] [Space] [Enter] Text>
Dunno if it’s an app thing or an instance thing
I’m on sync as well. Also compounded by my phone auto typing the word with 2 spaces.
There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
If my ear was a cunt, I would fuck it
