Strikethroughs aren't supported by the Markdown "spec", they're a common extension but not part of Markdown itself
The correct fix to this is to enable the extension in the markdown parser
but it seems it works in editor, so why not in real review? :thinking:
The editor is a separate piece of software to ContentDB. It's a JavaScript library, I didn't write it. It appears to have more extensions enabled by default
Does ContentDB's markdown implementation support <del>
tag?
Edit: Nope. I just tested it. It does not.
There are however, issues with tables. They work in the description & the previewer, but don't display correctly in comments:
Edit: I take part of that back, they don't display correctly in the description either.
Also, I just learned that GitHub & Discord markdown implementations support enclosing with double tildes (~) for strikethrough:
~~deleted~~ = deleted
Edit: Interestingly, ContentDB's editor shows it as supporting tildes, but does not work when saved or previewed:
Edit: Oh, that's what you were talking about @rubenwardy: "It appears to have more extensions enabled by default"
Edit: You know what, other than about the tables, you can just ignore everything else I said (that's what I get for skimming through the thread). 🙂
