Hey @sox, here's an interesting case study. This is probably way too esoteric an example for you to spend time with, but I'll share in case you're interested. My post today was mostly cut and pasted from an old .docx file I have from ten years ago that I was viewing in Pages (the apple word doc thing). I then formatted it for sn markdown and there are these weird boxes with Xs in them when viewed on mobile. They don't show up on desktop. One is at the beginning of a paragraph and one is at the beginning of a heading. Just figured I'd share. Not sure if it's actually worth the time to explore.

Also, I noticed that the <ins>underline</ins> instructions on this doc don't currently work. Again, probably not useful for anyone but me, but I figured you may want to know.

Seems like you pasted a form feed character from Pages, but it shouldn't show up like that. Will check this out soon!

<ins>underline</ins> instructions on this doc don't currently work

Underline is not supported at the moment, but why not? I'll make sure to include it in the next update!

Hell yeah! Thanks!

To quote @Solomonsatoshi, "What is Stacker News?
It is a multidisciplinary academic journal intentionally created to enable an experimental markdown community disguised as social media.
Originally Stacker News (SN) provided a markdown guide on behalf of participants but the threat of DIY on the pretext of typos forced a move away from this formatting by the platform to the platform enabling participants to use a convenient button bar.
To achieve this participants need to constantly harass @sox over random typos that they cut and paste from old academic articles..."

I’m just being silly here. The cowboy essentials crusade cracked me up. I’m kind of sad it’s semi-over.

Although, I actually do think sn’s format is the best way to share persuasive wiring.

markdown is the most convenient and flexible writing syntax i've worked with thus far
