Would love to learn how to do footnotes, I've definitely seen it in the wild at least once
https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/
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
```language name
syntax highlighted text
```
string code = "highlighted";

==Important text == can be highlighted. I actually didnโt know about this one
Here's a sentence with a footnote. [^1]
[^1]: This is the footnote.
==Highlight==
Doesnt render for me here on Lemmy but I do believe I used to ve able to use it in Logseq or Obsidian
It renders in Obsidian but not Blorp
Ill bite: wats blorp?
An iOS front end app for piefed
And Google Play, and F-Droid, and web, and macOS. We also support Lemmy, and you can login to Lemmy and PieFed simultaneously.
Only the best Lemmy/PieFed client of all time. Which is my definitely unbiased opinion as the creator of Blorp.
Good catch! Iโll see if I can fix that in the next release of Blorp.
Edit: on second thought, let me double check what other Lemmy/PieFed clients do. I would hate to encourage users to use a syntax if it looks broken on other clients. In general, if the official UI supports something then we will support it.
Mermaid diagrams, where supported, I feel are invaluable in tech.
