Correctly render all supported markdown on new Reddit #23

Closed iampueroo closed 3 years ago

iampueroo commented 3 years ago

Updated Status: All markdown has been implemented! 🎇 Currently, the changes are only on master and on the development extension. After testing (i.e. me using REddit this week) to ensure there aren't any bugs, I will publish the updated the changes to Firefox and Chrome on Thursday, May 20th.


Due to the way the new reddit stylesheets work, special markdown formatting is not supported out-of-the-box. For example, even though the HTML returned by the Reddit API has a <strong> element, it does not get bolded correctly since the default stylings of these elements are removed globally on the page, and are implemented via obfuscated classes that I cannot use.

This issue aims to ensure that all markdown that is supported by Reddit renders correctly in the rComments popup.


Status

Based on Reddit's main markdown wiki, these are all the supported markdown syntax. The elements will be checked once they are confirmed to be implemented on master branch on both new and old reddit,
