Well atleast for me slack is cumbersome to use. When someone sends a few dozen lines of text, it needlessly formats and previews only few lines and whatnot instead of giving plain dump of text. Today while working on production issue i sent an XML file to team member but again due to formatting in slack it turned useless and I had to put my xml in file and mail it as attachment.
I guess I am just not sophisticated user to configure it to my requirements.
- Andrex 9y agoYou can surround multiline code with triple backticks (`) to preserve formatting. Though for whole XML files I'd suggest just uploading it to the chat.
- melq 9y agoI'm somewhat in the same boat in terms of not being a very sophisticated user, and thus being unaware of alot of features. (I recently started at a new company and am accustomed to IRC) Over time though, you get used to it, and it is imho much less cumbersome to use than any alternatives (certainly IRC). Need to send a large XML file? Hit the plus button next to where you type messages. Want to just dump it to chat? Surround in triple backticks.
