    Markdown is so annoying. I wanted to record a command in Joplin and had the audacity to make it bold to highlight something. Pasted it into their terminal and it put a bunch of asterisks in. Thanks.

      It does format text in the editor pane by default now but uses a big warning with a button to disable it.

      However, the built-in code highlighter, much
      like in many Lemmy frontends, highlights
      some words/symbols depending on the default
      language. Therefore, it's best to not use 
      4 spaces at the start of each line for a code block.
      
      Instead, this one starts with "```text" and 
      ends with "```". No extra indents and I get
      to specify the highlighting language!
