I’m mostly fine without Markdown support on #Mastodon, however, for code, it would be great:
– No need to escape @, #, and URLs in some manner.
– Monospaced font where it’s easier to distinguish (e.g.) I and l and |
– Syntax highlighting (not as important)
@rauschma I was thinking about that, Yesterday I tried to share some code it wasn't the best experience ever.
I thought of other tools but didn't reach anything.
Do you recommend any tools outside (Mastodon) better for sharing code?
@Blue_Jersey Depending on your use case, Git gists (https://gist.github.com/) are a tool some people swear by. Git will do a pretty decent job of auto-formatting the content if it knows about the language.
@mtomczak @Blue_Jersey Yes. I use GitHub Gists, too.
