This may be a problem best addressed with the discourse folks at
I believe when you start typing your first post, on the righ-hand side of the editor a thing pops up mentioning it uses markdown as the syntax. But it’s easy to miss. So I would encourage you to create / search for solutions on meta.discourse.org and talk to the developers that this is an issue.
Tip: if there is something fancy you see in a post and you wanna know how the user did that syntax-wise, you can select that text with the mouse and click on the “quote” that will pop up. Then you’ll see the markdown the user used there.
Yeah, I found it the hard way ^^
It’s ok now, old reflexes came back, last time I heavily used markdown was 10 years ago …
Also I found quick help and links in the Qubes doc Documentation style guide, like Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation, from the markdown author himself IIRC.
So yes it’s on me, I got dust in my eyes, missed that one ^^
Yeah I should, but it’s rather incredible there’s not a single easily accessible “help/syntax” link on its frontpage, like nearly all software projects o_O
Maybe cause markdown became so ubiquitous ?
