Including this very platform.

Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash


as an em dash.

I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.

Why am I bold? why does markdown do my head in. Its really not that hard.

I'm not seeing it in Voyager, but I'm guessing you made a header:

Main header

Level 2 header

The number of dashes or equality signs doesn't have to match, so I think that's what you did.
