New Experimental Feature Enabled

I’ve turned on a feature which is still listed as experimental. In the post compose window you can now select the Rich Text Editor instead of the default Markdown editor. There is a toggle in the top left to switch between them. The main difference is that the rich text editor is WYSIWYG, so there is no preview box needed beside it. Since it is experimental, some things yuo can do with Markdown can’t be done in the Rich Text Editor. A full description of supported and missing features can be found here:

I was hoiping this would enable additional text formatting. Missing “underline” and “strikethru” options although you can use them if you know the syntax.

Indented number/letter list formats would be nice in some cases. Manually entering the code is bit cumbersome.

These are actually limitations (or design decisions) of Markdown itself.

For anyone why doesn’t know, just use 2 tildes (~~) before and after for strikeout.

For underline, there are two options. You can wrap it with HTML underline tags like this:

<u>underline<\u>

or use the tag, like this:

<ins>underline<\ins>

If one doesn’t work, try the other.
