- ahoge 12y agoParagraphs and emphasis are frequently used here.
- adamhyde 12y agoparagraphs are plain text :)
- ahoge 12y agoNo, they are not. It's not directly spit into an element with white-space: pre-line or white-space: pre. It's converted into paragraphs. Just like stuff inside asterisks is converted into emphasis.
- adamhyde 12y agosigh. plain text paragraphs cant be claimed to be invented by markdown. sorry. good try tho.
- ahoge 12y agoInvented? You are missing the point. The comments are written in a markup language (Markdown, UBB, whatever...) which is then converted to HTML. It's transformed and not displayed as-is.
- adamhyde 12y agoThats like saying BP invented oil. To claim a plaintext only comment, sans markdown syntax, as markdown is a big stretch to make. But I understand you will want to make that stretch inorder to justify the magic utility of the format. Thats a big whatever from me. Anyway. Im not going to argue this further. Agreed to disagree.
