For a long time I hated markdown.

Now I love it.

What do you think?

in html you can put <p> or </ br> inside <li>. in markdown you can do it on most places but you have to play around with line breaks and leading spaces. Here this works:

- qqqq

   aaaa 
- zzzz
  • qqqq

    aaaa

  • zzzz

hmm interesting never saw that one.

reading through djot/doc/quickstart-for-markdown-users.md, I see one big issue to implementing somewhere like lemmy right at the top. Needing so many blank lines is annoying in a small textbox/display; you can see less of what you are writing. Sometimes it's convenient to smush stuff together a bit.
