I mean, code could work and maybe ^superscript^ or ~subscript~ and that's about it I think

Can you create headings in headings?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can, and it'll probably get annoying if everyone catches on!

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OK, I will never use it again.

Are sub and superscript officially supported by markdown now? Or is that a Lemmy-specific extension?

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy-ui uses markdown-it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/package.json#L65

Markdown-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
