After being spoiled on the rich #markdown of #gitea (github-like markdown), I find that markdown on #Diaspora, #WriteFreely / #WriteAs, #Lemmy / #Lenny all have unacceptible limitations. Where can I write a blog, besides using gitea?
@anmol Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but the markdown needs a lot of work. Things that are broken: ordered lists, tables, reference links, the <details> tag, & asterisks fail to italicize inside of quotes.
In #Fediverse, no other platform gives option to use #HTML, #BBcode and #Markdown at the same time. You will have to use combination of these to have a nicer looking result. The problem is what looks good on one platform may not look the same on other. Anyways you may check #Wordpress as it is a #CMS and will have lot of #plugins to support Markdown. Even #Hubzilla has #Articles and #Wiki in it, but they don't federate. You will have to paste links on your Fediverse accounts.
@anmol the docs page times out for me, so I didn't realize it supported a mix of languages. that definitely sounds interesting though. I think in principle it would be most useful if it supported GitHub Flavored Markdown, which has this spec: https://github.github.com/gfm/ in addition to your other extensions.
