Is this intentional? Running discourse-1.9.0.beta14~git446.610d7a9412

hmm I had the feeling it was in the past. It would be nice to have that as an option especially for posts with lots of code blocks.

Use code formatting for code blocks?

err the output is not the problem … I usually write longer posts in a text editor anyway. but e.g. when you use “------” to mark sections then the heading length and the length of the “----” part no longer mathc. this can be confusing.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about? Are we still on monospace/code blocks?

no. I am talking about that a monospaced font might be better for editing markdown formatted content Just take this as an example The line under the heading doesnt match the length anymore in the composer. This can be confusing. (see the markdown source of my comment)

I see, but considering only one " -" is enough to promote the line to a title, I think there’s no need for monospace.

would it be hard to implement an user option to switch the font for the composer?

I’ve thought about this a bit before and I don’t hate the idea. The benefit of using a monospaced font is that it’s a quick indication of “this isn’t a WYSIWYG editor” and further distinguishes the editing space from the preview in the composer. There are some downsides though; monospaced fonts do …

For the record I also much prefer monospace for markdown formatting. @codinghorror is not keen on making this a global default at all. Font was never monospace in the editor from the first release of Discourse.

Font in editor no longer monospaced?

By editor you mean the composer? It has never been monospaced.
