More Help Needed on Markdown
-
I am aware of the Markdown Help that is available by clicking the compose ? help link in text edit boxes, but I think we need more comprehensive help than is available there. I collected some markdown in a note, which I posted below. (You can inspect the code if you quote my post).
Does it cover everything not covered in the linked help?
Heading 1
Bold
Italics
Strikeout
==Highlighting== works in notes, but not in the forum.- Disabled Checkbox works in notes, but not in the forum.
Tables (Heading 2)
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Left Aligned Centred Link Right Aligned Bold strikeoutBold Italic 12345.67 Heading 3
Code markup prevents other markup tags from being parsed
Quoted text is indented and highlighted with a grey sidebar. Use a > to indent a quote.

@pesala
I find it easier to remember characters rather than codes so:-Instead of
<em>
you can use_
or*
and
instead of<strong>
you can use__
or**
single single
double double
Similarly, for Headings use
#
(followed by a space)Heading 1
...
Heading 3
...
Heading 6

I wonder if <abbr title="abbreviations">abbr</abbr> worksEdit: I guess not

After the recent forum update
- Disabled Checkbox works in the forum.

For the first time I have met Markdown some time ago and I have never had problems with this. I find Maarkdown much easier to remember and apply than the usual bbcodes in other forums.

Is there any method of adding a newline (line break) within a table? This Stack Overflow post suggests a few options, but none seem to work in these Vivaldi forums. Here's what I tried to no avail:
<br>
<br/>
\\
\n
Here's a table showing how each of these options fail:
header1<br>(units) header2<br/>(units) header3\(units) header4\n(units) data1 comment<br>data2 data3 data4 -
@ukanuk thanks for raising it up. I've copied your question to NodeBB (the make of this forum) here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14626/help-needed-on-markdown

@Pesala thank for sharing these great tips. Following them up, we're in the process of adding a help page on that topic as well. We'll share it here as soon as we're ready.

@Gaëlle Groups of hyphens are changed to dashes… Also, do we have a link to it right in the forum (like it was before)? It'd surely help new users that don't look on help pages
-
@potmeklecbohdan The link has gone, but people should read help.
Three hyphens = a horizontal rule, not a dash.

I know, I mean this (sorry for the way I measure ) — the lines are 9, 3 and 5 pixels long, while MD uses only - (not – or —)

@ukanuk it's been fixed
Please use the quote to see how it's been done.header1

@Gaëlle Awesome, thank you! It's not the most beautiful markup for my current use-case, but the most important part is that the end result looks good!

Yes of course, people should always read help files. But help should also be very easy to find, and in my case I suspect I may never have noticed https://help.vivaldi.com/article/markdown-formatting/ if not for this thread.
The forums currently have no help links at all that I can see, and I personally would never have thought to look on https://help.vivaldi.com for information on using the forum. My instinct in seeing https://help.vivaldi.com is that it's for browser help pages, not forum help pages. In hindsight I can see how using help.vivaldi.com for all official Vivaldi help pages does make sense, but not having any help links from the forum means it's a non-intuitive connection to me.
