Isn't it the old functionality with the "Aa" toggle button? At least I don't have any problems with that after pressing it.

- gknoy 7y agoFenced blocks and `monospaced` stuff still behave frustratingly whether I have the "Aa" button toggled or not. I hate it -- wish they'd just add support for plain markdown as an option :(
- heharkon 7y agoAh, true. I rarely use any markdown so I didn't notice any difference :)
- huffmsa 7y agoAnd that's the heart of the issue. This is a "convenience" introduced to make markdown easier for people who didn't really use markdown, at the cost of adding a pain point for people who are heavy users of the markdown features.
- sodosopa 7y agoDoes html work? Why not use it instead?
- notkaiho 7y agoNo, HTML is not part of how you can format text in Slack.
- pavel_lishin 7y agoHTML would also be a pretty verbose way to format text I'm typing out to coworkers, etc.
- Savageman 7y agoDo you still have issues with monospaced and fenced blocks if you refresh Slack? I tested and it was very buggy when I read the other HN thread this morning (I'm in Europe), but as of right now I can't reproduce the issues.
