Users posting unformatted code will see a warning message instructing them how to format it correctly.
Not a fan of content detection… Will users be able to disable this or is it going to be enforced?
The link to this topic should probably open in a new window by default so people can post to this thread after they get this warning whilst posting on another.
Not an issue. You would simply replace the ` with the user’s preferred character when editing and replace it again when saving, if I am explaining that well enough Sorry. The backtick would still be used in the back end, just translated for the user in the front-end.
Still, using a more accessible character would be a benefit to everyone.
Maybe a selection of either “`”, “‘’” (two single quotes) or just lines starting with a “}” or a “~” or similar.
We’re currently using “#” for tags, so why not something else equally accessible for lines, blocks or spans of preformatted text?
