Well, this is a good bug report for jerboa! Lots of rendering not working

yeah, it's really good.
I'd love it if kbin and lemmy could agree on how this should work, and both support the same syntax
Jerboa doesn't seem to render spoiler tags or subscripts. Anyway, here's an image in a comment:
It's actually an SVG, which is pretty awesome.
This is a reported bug on github, so a fix will happen for sure. While Markdown is awesome and perfect for browsers, incompatible implementations (esp. when using extensions as Lemmy does, e.g. subscript) are often a problem on non-web based platforms, like Android. If Jerboa was an electron app, it would probably be an easier fix than it is; Jerboa is written in Java and there are less and probably less extensive Markdown parsers in that ecosystem.
What is still missing for me is the support for some html tags, such as <sup>
and <sub>
that are very useful for making a whole sentence appear very small. with the current options you have to ~write~ ~each~ ~word~ ~like~ ~this~
or it won't work:
~hello everybody~
:
~hello everybody~
~hello~ ~everybody~
~hello~ ~everybody~
also, in jerboa this is not recognized. But we'll arrive everywhere, it's just a matter of time :D
Support for syntax highlighting would also be nice, though Reddit doesn't have that either:
Source
```c++
int main() {
// comment
}
```
Rendered
int main() {
// comment
}
I think that's it. Its Markdown support is pretty fleshed out otherwise
this is a dream... a dream that we'll probably see in the near future I think, there are plenty of open source libraries that supports markdown
