Hi All, So I just joined the list - first off, Markdown is a great format and we're using it in our online community project disCourse:
http://discourse.ics.hawaii.edu We're using markdown for our wiki pages, stories, message postings, pretty much everywhere. One markdown policy that doesn't seem to fit intuitively for our users is the fact that embedded underscores leads to italics. My apologies if this is an already much discussed aspect of Markdown, but while the syntax for showing embedded underscores (escaping them) is clear, I can't think of many situations where one would want embedded italics. In our user community at least the much more common use of embedded underscores is in database table names and file names, e.g. my_fave_file.txt user_workspaces_tbl Whatever the official markdown policy I think we will override it locally for our disCourse system, but I was interested to know what other markdown users thought. Many thanks in advance CHEERS> SAM _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
