just remember, no API keys in your md files after bedtime - its bad for your hygiene!

If @josecgomez answers you but he ignored me for a week + I’ll punch you both in the knee caps.

Another feature I’ve been waiting for is what Github, Jira etc support “diff”… hes probably on another cruise…

I had a feeling it would just… magically work soon.

Out of morbid curiosity, what do you need to upload a markdown file for?

It’s a common file format, at least for me.

Personally, I use it to share AI handoffs, or AI docs.

Or also ones I have written myself.

I shared one earlier with @Randy, but I had to rename it .txt lol.

OH!.. of course…

Yes, Markdown is the lingua franca of AI. But also…

Separates content from presentation, unlike a PDF file.

Preserves Structure of document

Stores metadata IN the file using front matter

I don’t think you are a diva @Mark_Wonsil

“SharePoint MD support should be in italics because it’s SPO-ken differently.” - Mark probably
:wink:

Same with Discord.

I thought at first this post was about epicor md support. Yes please!

PS - BTW, i had a hard time pasting md into here the other day. I wanted a colapsable panel and its worked before but couldnt do it so i gave up and pushed a gist instead. Probably user error. :man_shrugging:

No, there is a bug with pasting markdown in this version of Discourse. I don’t know if it’s something @josecgomez can fix, but might be.

When you paste markdown in the editor, it mangles it.

I just add three backticks, like I’m doing a code block, then paste under that. Then I go remove the backticks and there is no mangling.

If you paste mark down to “render” you need to be in the Mark down Editor

IF you paste mark down to share it (as mark down ) it should be like any other code block with the back ticks ```

Send me an example and I’ll play wiht it.

its always in md mode. test:
# Heading

**bold**

*italic*

~~strikethrough~~

> quote

`inline code`

those escape slashes are not on my clipboard


Try pastig with Ctrl Shift V this turns off the “stop the user from being an idiot switch”

BTW I can’t get it to do it on my end…
