There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I’m trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.
the language is called “Markdown”, same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others
Thank you for the link. It has some examples, I guess that’s what I’m asking for, and obviously what is included could be tweaked based on Lemmy differences, exclude things that are already in the quick format bar, etc.
I see icons along the bottom of the field, which I can tap for formatting changes. Could you check if you have something similar?
Yes, I have that (and actually found out it can scroll to the side and there is a quick link for strikethrough!) but I’d also like stuff like “embedding gifs” and other stuff that is not commonly known.
Thanks; to be clear, most if not all of this if searchable on the web, it’s more having it easily referenced from within boost’s text entry field somewhere as a “?” Help menu or something so that all users won’t have to do that each time was my suggestion/request from Ruben.
Wouldn’t the markup be the same for gifs and any other image format?
Yes but there currently isnt a button to embed images that you arent uploading from your phone. The image button only lets you upload, not enter a remote image URL. Maybe that would be the easiest one to change for @rmayayo@lemmy.world ?
