Ask HN: HN with Markdown Syntax in Comments?
A lot of us are familiar with __, *, and link syntax of Markdown. Wouldn't it be nice to have those in HN comment fields?
- sircastor 3y ago* does work for italics, and links are auto created off of URLs. In terms of link syntax, I think it’s advantageous to simply have URLs, rather than linking with provided text. I prefer the footnote approach of pointing to a website [1] rather than inline text which is a little obsfucated. [1] https://aaroneiche.com https://aaroneiche.com
