That’s the problem, isn’t it: whose convention? It never works in the way I conventionally do ot, and takes way too much troubleshooting to make it work. I also have no idea how to do formatting other than lists so would have to look it up. There’s a reason most posts on Lemmy are unformatted, it’s too much effort to get it to work.
Before you say that’s a me problem: the list conventions I write with work fine everywhere else. Plus I haven’t had to look up formatting syntax since LaTEX
Look at this guy botch numbered lists by missing the space. Is this a meta comment? 😉
I’d upvote that - why does markup need to be so complex and brittle?
I don’t think writing lists & punctuation in the conventional way is expecting too much. No spaces after periods? Crazy.
