I use bold and italic a lot in post titles. Some of the other stuff wouldn't make much sense I don't think, but every little bit helps.
I mean,
codecould work and maybe superscript or subscript and that's about it I thinkCan you create headings in headings?
You can, and it'll probably get annoying if everyone catches on!
OK, I will never use it again.
~oh no~
Are sub and superscript officially supported by markdown now? Or is that a Lemmy-specific extension?
Lemmy-ui uses
markdown-it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/package.json#L65Markdown-it follows the CommonMark spec with extensions: https://spec.commonmark.org/current/ As I see superscript is not part of the spec, but listed in the markdown-it readme as a plugin, so I guess it's coming from there: https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it?tab=readme-ov-file#syntax-extensions
They are also listed in package.json:
"markdown-it-sub": "^2.0.0", "markdown-it-sup": "^2.0.0",https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/package.json#L73
Lemmy docs about markdown support: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html#text
I think it's fine to use unique platform features like this, but if you're actually using this actively, be aware that not everyone will see your titles as you intended them. It's only Lemmy users that can see it actually render "properly", everyone else just sees the plaintext Markdown symbols.
Hmm, sounds like a good point. Here's my sub:
