    My up votes and downvotes have disappeared. I was able to briefly see them again after clearing sync app cache and storage but the bug (if it is a bug) returned right away after login.

    Hi!

    Moderator from !perth@aussie.zone here.

    Just been playing around using the spoiler tags as makeshift drop down lists in the sidebar for the Perth/WesternAustralia community, and noticed the ‘spoiler’ markdown formatting isn’t recognised in the ‘about’ page on the Sync app. :)

    Spoiler formatting was a big one, Lemmy wants to do it like this, I think:

    Some paragraph text.

    Spoiler Title

    Some spoiler elements

    Other paragraph text.

    EDIT: the main issue being Sync not displaying the spoiler title properly

      I’d also like to mention that the way it’s done in the community about page for S4L doesn’t seem to work:

      1- No advertising or spam.

      All types of advertising and spam are restricted in this community.

      Edit: this is so confusing. It doesn’t work in the about section, but looks fine in my web interface. I don’t even know what to believe!

    Code blocks in quotes appear a little funky.

    Funny stuff is happening with the spoilers in this comment, they aren’t rendering as spoilers on the first two but tapping the actual spoilers removes the broken spoiler characters around the first two lines? Really strange: https://lemmy.world/comment/10822445

    No text image links in post bodies. Usually see them in the format [](link here) don’t show up at all.

    • SanguineParEnglish

      I think a way to make them work is to add two spaces after each line. Here’s a test…

      • Line one
      • Line two
      • Line three

      Hopefully that works.

      It did :-)

        That’s a placebo and it’s not doing anything. Bulleted lists never need two spaces at the end of each line. You only use two spaces at the end of line that are not in bulleted or numbered lists.

        The bug is that Sync requires a blank line before you start the bulleted list. The Lemmy website doesn’t require that.

        Here is your comment with no spaces at the end of each line:

        spaces after each line. Here’s a test…

        • Line one
        • Line two
        • Line three

        See? It still works fine.

        Now here’s an example of what two spaces do.

        The first sentence below has a new line after each word but no spaces. The second sentence has two spaces and a new line after each word. The spaces force a line break to be rendered.

        This Is Not A List

        This
        Is
        Not
        A
        List

        This feature of markdown was implemented to prevent text from emails and such from wrapping in funny ways when pasted into a comment (or whatever). Old emails often force line breaks after 80 columns of text and it looks goofy when viewed in a modern web browser if those line breaks are kept, so they are ignored. To preserve the line breaks, you add two spaces at the end of each line. That or you might prefer to write paragraphs with a hard wrap at some column, but other people shouldn’t have to suffer that.

        Adding the two spaces to lines in a bulleted list does nothing useful, but it also doesn’t break it, so of course it works.

          Ah, I see - thanks for the detailed explanation. I think I sort of knew that, but got mixed up when replying on bullets.

      • @CMahaff@lemmy.worldEnglish

        So I know that will make it look correct in sync, but I guess what I’m getting at is that the comment is an example that looks right in other clients but NOT in sync.

        Sync should show the list correctly like other clients do.

        • SanguineParEnglish
          3•1 year ago

          Yeah, sorry, I got mixed up, so my ‘solution’ wasn’t really a fix at all.

    • @CrayonRosary@lemmy.worldEnglish
      4•1 year ago

      I’ve noticed that Sync requires two newlines between the preceding sentence and the bulleted list, but the Lemmy website does not, nor does Eternity. That appears to be the problem with the list you posted.

      This might not make a bulleted list in Sync:

      • one
      • two
      • three

      This should make a bulleted list in Sync:

      • one
      • two
      • three

      Source:

      This might not make a bulleted list in Sync:
- one
- two
- three

This should make a bulleted list in Sync:

- one
- two
- three

      Yes, that was the case. Sync screenshot:

        • This is an example of a bulleted list item that is long enough to likely wrap onto a second line on most phones.

        • This is another bulleted list item that is intended to do the same thing in order to see how readable they are together.

        • This is a third bulleted list item that has an additional line break between the previous list item.

        1. This is an example of a numbered list item that is long enough to likely wrap onto a second line on most phones.

        2. This is another numbered list item that is intended to do the same thing in order to see how readable they are together.

        3. This is a third numbered list item that has an additional line break between the previous list item.

        These don’t seem very readable to me, making dense walls of text. I feel like bullets and numbers should indent the paragraph to more easily see the separation between list items.

        • @CrayonRosary@lemmy.worldEnglish
          3•1 year ago

          The additional line breaks aren’t doing anything, as I’m sure you can see.

          The indent should be an option, if anything. At large font sizes, or small screens, that forced indent might be wasting a lot of space. Especially for nested lists.

          Although, as it turns out, Sync barely indents nested lists. That alone makes it hard to read, too.

          I’d support the indent you mention. It would make nested lists much easier to read, too.

        Ah, fair point. Maybe a concatenated version with both formats? Dunno. Not a huge issue to be fair :-)

        sharing it to someone without sync

        The bang syntax will work much better for anyone on Lemmy itself, regardless of which instance they’re on or which client they use, while the URL syntax is better when users want to share a link to a community off-platform.

      Why can’t you attach an image? If it’s your instance you can upload elsewhere and embed with:

    Not sure if code blocks are supported at all (I’ll test using this comment); I know inline code strings are, but blocks I’m not sure.

    Either way, in the editor, I’m missing buttons for both inserting inline code and a code block.

    Speaking of messages, I can’t seem to find a way to mark a message/comment reply as unread. I would like that very much.

    #!/bin/fish
#Testing a block of code
if true
  printf "yes"
else
  printf "no"
end

      Works when viewing this comment page but when looking at your profile page it’s blank. Is this expected?
