There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

Would love to learn how to do footnotes, I've definitely seen it in the wild at least once

This has most of the extended syntax, including footnotes[^1]. I use the syntax highlighting quite often, and a few markdown editors/previewers support mermaid.js which is pretty cool if you need a simple diagram and you don't want to mess around with a more complex app.

[^1]: If you are talking about Lemmy formatting specifically, I don't think it's feature complete yet, but it does support some things that aren't documented
