Heyhey Is there a way to set the text editor only as what you see is what you get and with every space in the back-end being &nbsp? Use-case: poets community. No one cares about markdown and many of us need multiple spaces in sequence. The other day, a user shared some poems and, instead of using *** to establish a division between them, she used -------- and didn’t hit the enter button neither before nor after this dividing line, which then turned the above poem into a title. Thanks!

See this too: [image] Current Projects - September 2024 megaphoneAnnouncements We’re looking into Lexical as a potential option for us to integrate with in our updated composer — but we haven’t yet made our final decision there. We should have that decision made quite soon so I’ll plan to follow up here once we know more. And this: [image] Markdown syntax highlighting in post editor Feature Hey Angus — sorry for the delay here, we’ve been out at our company’s annual retreat in Tokyo! I can’t answer with too many specifics right now as we’re still nailing down implementation details. I think we should have that figured out in the coming weeks, at least well enough to answer these questions, so I’ll check back in once we know more.

Hey, Lilly! Thanks! Do you have any idea how long it will take? Just so I know how long I’ll need to keep on dreaming haha

Current work around would be: In the beginning, a blank page waits. The cursor blinks, pulses, beckons. First word: appears. Grows. Flows. Lines indent, intent clear. Tabs create structure, Spaces breathe life. Backspace whispers— unspoken thoughts erased. Between the letters, silent beats, rhythms in whitespace. Lines break, fragments fall, forming shapes of meaning. End. Save. Close. The page returns to quietude. A blank space awaits anew. Which is entered via: ```txt In the beginning, a blank page waits.

And we are back to one feature request to get the tab key on the keyboard working as it should when writing :smirking_face:

[image] Nathan Kershaw: See this too: Wow! This Lexical editor seems amazingly simple to understand and very rich in formatting options. [image] Sam Saffron: Current work around would be: Dude, this was the best answer I could get hahaha Loved it! Thank you all for having answered me here. Things are clearer now, both for what we can do now and what we can expect from Discourse in the next year or so. :wink:
