What's that BS? Your output didn't correspond with the input?
(By the way, how did you do that input display? segmented the element?) -

Nope. But I believe I've figured it out: Do not use empty lines in a list, ever.
It's actually in the help about Markdown, though it does not explain why an empty line removes the bullet from the li before and after it.(By the way, how did you do that input display? segmented the element?)
Hm? I used <pre> tags, if that's what you mean.

In Chrome I saw this differently, and I tried `

Does anybody know if there's a way to make a textual tooltip like with"<abbr></abbr>" on MyOpera - other than messing with the Markdown links syntax (...)?
Just found a tip:
...
...
Who knows how to make such a tooltip under a forum smilie?Just managed to make a smilie tooltipped: when you insert one, it puts itself embraced with spaces - one on each side — just have them included along with your smilie within the
<abbr>- that's it
And besides, I just saw a normal "XP" word in the "Windows" section posted in a comment. Let me try if they've "remedied" the smilie's code:
XP
It works! :idea:
Let me see the smilie then? " :XP: " – yey! :cheers:
Thanks, dudes! :drunk: -

Let me try local links syntax if it works [right] here:
A link to my previous comment here.
(It seems working - though may "enhance" the actual URL somehow.) Add.--> No, something's wrong. Trying to edit so that... Deleted "comment" from the URl...
Yes, now it's actually working: the resulted URL has to be the same - that first time I got an error page... -

Checking if the "target" attribute works here:
[this link is to a tiny image, and presumably should open in a new tab/window](http://www.listenlive.eu/wma.gif" target="_blank).
Looks like it's working!

Opera should have chosen a better forum software, not this crappy one, should have gone with IPB, mybb or phpbb.
Cant do anything much here, just type and submit.

Well you can do almost everything you would expect to be able to do, if you don't mind manually putting markdown code into your posts, but I agree it's far from ideal, and beyond the knowledge of many people, who must, like yourself, see this forum as being very crude and basic indeed.

It would be o'k if the Markdown markup properly [and fully] worked, but it rather doesn't - in cases...
Let me try if the
<span>element works here:My <span style="color:red">Important</span> Heading
It doesn't... >_>

Just was checking things: you need an empty line (two "enters"/linebreaks) preceeding a list to get it work.
Well, and it seems that to end the list - you're gonna need a spare line too.

I've found a neat way to avoid spacing when you want to place a smilie straight next to your words or right after a punctuation mark: you embrace it (the smilie's code - without spaces) with asterisks - as if you wanted to "bolden" it (though such single boldening ain't working, actually).

@leocg:
Leo, your "numbers" input gives search links:something #1, #2, etc.
I take we kinda can refer to search queries by using the "#" character - adding the intended search keyword without space: like
blah-blah-blah #plugin,
bluh-bluh-bluh #Flash,
etc;though I also take it that such input inserts a "%23" character in front of the query, and I have no idea why it adds "Mode=like" and what it is for/what it does...
So I guess you can just insert a space after a "#" when you want to just number something in your replies:
something # 1, something # 2

To quote something, you can either use the "
<blockquote>" HTML element - or highlight/select what you want to quote and click the grey «"» button that you can see beneath the user's postcount and/or badges(or you can just manually type ">" at a new line to insert a copied piece of text after it; don't forget that after a quotation you'll need an empty line to go on with your own posting). -

@sidneyneto
Sid, your "
#1000" input creates a search link.
You can use either spacing, or those "backlash apostrophes" or what it's called (```) to embrace the input:-
1000
#1000

Check if a Markdown element's gonna work within another Markdown element:
It works(an image element used within a link element - to make the image a link)! -

wow, the forum stole the underscores in the filename o_O
A feature of Markdown. The underscores are used for emphasis—why the emphasis does not display on the forum I don't know. In any case, I escaped them for you.
I'm using a site where the discussions is getting that Markdown or very similar in place of Textile. Underscores don't work properly there either - for now. May it be that it needs rendering improvement/amendment?

Probably just a bug in our implementation. In fact emphasis not working with asterisk (*), underscore (_) and
<em>appears to be the only thing seriously broken. The other issues seem (to me at least) to be in line with the Markdown "specification". Anyway, I'll see if I can get someone to fix that issue.P.S. I fixed your nested quoting for you.
