Here is a small collection of difficulties in our community:
Pasting Lists
Part of the content into our discourse is written in word / other office and then pasted into discourse.
Bullets are not converted to - or + disabling lists.
Pasting Cursive Fonts
For pasted referenced email content, every line gets quoted in asterisks.
If such texts are detected, embracing with a tag (<em> or similar) would be more appropriate.
New Users Do Not Understand Using Hashes for Headlines
New users do not understand using hashes for headlines.
They keep using the available buttons and use bold text instead.
An Icon to add headlines could help here.
In addition, some heuristic could trigger educational texts.
Orientation in a Collection of Images
When working with a bunch of images, the preview and cursor position are not synced. To identify uploads, the image caption has to be edited.
Possible improvements:
- auto increment the image description
- add visual clue about cursor position into the preview and sync this into view
