Closed WoodrowShigeru closed 2 years ago

WoodrowShigeru commented 2 years ago

The HTML tag <u>cheesecake</u> is completely being ignored.

Reproduce:

  1. Open empty file.
  2. Write a text with <u></u> HTML tag.
  3. Run command "Preview in browser".

I'm assuming you are using the github parser? With the markdown parser, it works fine, but with the github parser it does not, but this is not a bug.

With the github parser, we simply send it to GitHub via their API, let them process it, and send it back. If it is considered a problem at all, it is their problem.

To demonstrate, lets enter <u>cheesecake</u> into this comment, which uses GitHub's parser, and see what happens!

Yep, no underline. Why do they ignore <u>? 🤷🏻 You may want to consider <ins>cheesecake</ins> instead.

I had actually checked the "github" and "gitlab" parsers – but not "markdown", because I could never see anything work there that the other two couldn't. Well, seems like I've found my first case.

Interesting! I did not know about <ins>. What a weird choice by Chrome to underline that, even though "added text" has nothing to do with underlinage.

Thanks for the tips. Now I know not one but two workarounds. Cheers!
