and this'll be your homework
Umm, OK.
You know what? Instead, I think I'll just skip responding to this thread or to you. Have fun with the formatting, I'm out.

A wise choice, ruario. I've pretty much given up responding in other threads as well but for different reasons.

…lists with paragraphs are broken.
Actually it seems you can do lists with paragraphs using two spaces at the end of the line to force a line break within the list, for example, this:
* **Pets:** dogs cats hamsters * **Wild animals:** lions tigers bears(Note: I have 2 spaces after "**Pets:**", "dogs", "cats", "**Wild animals:**", "lions" and "tigers").
That will display as:
- Pets:
dogs
cats
hamsters - Wild animals:
lions
tigers
bears
I don't think you should have to do this if you follow the Markdown syntax page literally but it seems to be required with our implementation and at least provides a work around.

Well, let me check it out:
- Pets:
dogs
cats
hamsters
- Wild animals:
lions
tigers
bears
Yup. (By the way, after a "---" line you don't need a spare line to get a
<hr>output.)
Now let me try another way:- Pets:
dogs
cats
hamsters
- Wild animals:
lions
tigers
bears
Four spaces ("sub"lines) within a list don't seem to make any difference to the output.

By the way, after a "---" line you don't need a spare line to get a
<hr>output.You might not need to (right now) but you should. Doing so is according to spec and should therefore prevent future problems if we update or change our Markdown parser. I even suggested this in Formatting with Markdown under "Quick summary" → "Avoiding common problems".
- Add a blank line before and after paragraphs, lists, quotes or blocks of preformatted text.
In fact, putting extra lines before and after major elements sections (lists, quotes, blocks of pre-formatted text, line rules, etc.) is always a good idea. You can even put multiple if you like, they will not show as extras. It is better to be liberal with blank lines, unless you are working with lists.

This is entirely as expected since Markdown and (HTML for that matter) cuts all whitespace (spaces, tabs and line breaks) down to a single space, unless marked up otherwise.

In most cases it might even look tidier - so you're generally right...You can even put multiple if you like, they will not show as extras.
If I don't want to use line rules ("
<hr>" or alike) but do want to show some (logical) separation within my posting, I insert -

@joshl Just wanted to quickly say thanks for this thread! You and I have not always seen eye to eye but this thread did prompt me to try and get things improved, so a big thanks for that! :cheers:
Ok, emphasis works now and we have changed the help page to have [basic Markdown] instructions…
We also link them from the note below the comments input field. Hope that helps everyone.

Ok, emphasis works now and...
Well, does it?
And what about this?Well, both ways - the italics thing works.
(Ruario, you don't need to "@poop" me that way: in any case I prefer the standard punctuation - like"Ruario, you don't need to...":cheers:) -

Yes the HTML tags that worked before all still work. In addition
<em>now works as well. However, using the Markdown methods is quicker and easier, IMHO.you don't need to "@poop" me that way
Ah yes, you did specifically ask me not to do that in this thread. Sorry!

Testing if the
<dfn>element works here:<p>The <dfn title="World Health Organization">WHO</dfn> was founded in 1948.
:rolleyes:
Yeah, it does! :yes: -

For those who wonders IF:
Yes, apart from the Markdown syntax, you can format your input with most of basic HTML tags - inline ones mostly.
- Use starting the line with four whitespaces to show some code.
- Remember: Markdown syntax might sometimes not work within your HTML tags (or maybe otherwise*
*).
And yes, you're welcome to test some formatting in this thread.
But please, you might want to read it through first - lots of stuff has already been discussed and tested here previously.Thanks*:)*

Have you tried opera://flags#enable-autofill-ignore-autocomplete-off?
The forum does not recognize opera:// urls...
Yeah, just tried this
<link>syntax, so decided to move to a dedicated thread in order to undertake some experimenting...First, what about trying to force it using Markdown?
Check 1: "opera://flags#enable-autofill-ignore-autocomplete-off" (a[link](link)syntax).
Now using HTML syntax: opera://flags#enable-autofill-ignore-autocomplete-offWell, it doesn't seem to work: I can see a "denied-blah-blah" tooltip in both cases...
[WHISPER]It wasn't actually a tooltip, but you get it, I believe...:zip:[/WHISPER]
WHISPER2: Ah! Sorry! Forgot to mention I'm with Google Chrome now./// -
l33t4opera last edited byHi @moderators, adding images in a post content is completely broken for me.
No matter which type of image you try to attach: PNG, or JPG, it doesn't show up, and instead of it, it shows the link to the image.
It also doesn't matter, if one use the Markdown syntax, as shown below:
oror that you use HTML tag:
It just doesn't work. Is that know issue, and are you trying to fix it already, or not?
