No it doesn't. In fact I had to edit a comment I made above this one about four times until I got the formatting right. It annoyingly ignored me doing this:
line one
line two
line three
and assumed I meant this:
line one line two line three
- scrollaway 10y agoYou're talking about the comment output, which is html after being processed. The text box is plaintext, and it word-wraps :)
- milesrout 10y agoThe text box and the text output are the same thing: markdown. A little tickbox that just wrapped every message I send in a <pre> tag would be lovely.
- scrollaway 10y agoYou're missing my point because you don't understand the meaning I'm going for here. The comment box is not markdown, it's plaintext. This is not a rich text WYSIWYG editor. My original point is that plenty of software does plaintext wrapping just fine and it's pretty ridiculous that consoles are stuck in this 80 character mindset.
- milesrout 10y agoNo you're missing the point. A computer cannot wrap text reliably. It does not know how to.
