fyi i’m cool with browser extensions, etc. for wasteof, but please don't add special syntax that requires the extension to view. (eg. : emoji: text). it makes things a lot messier for everyone else.

comments (single view)

Implementing a Markdown parser was on my list of extensions to implement but looks like I have to scrap that :(

you can already type wasteof posts in markdown

I mean extending the syntax (like adding custom links and tables and stuff)

hmm… how messy would tables be?

| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title       |
| Paragraph   | Text        |

@gilbert189 i don’t know if this would be messy enough to be considered “a bad experience” for non-wasteof users and it wouldn't really restrict the feature/require the special syntax to view. unlike polls and emojis, i would suspect that tables might be fine. Markdown links in the format [link text](https://wikipedia.org) definitely wouldn’t be okay, though ( i would guess). @jeffalo, thoughts?

I’m half-on-half with tables, but links is the one I’m concerned with (they look very absurd when unformatted)
