Heartbreaking.

Wow:

myopinion

@Manton I used text "myopinion" with a # sign in front to mirror what cleverdevil had written. The output was very strange, like nothing I've ever seen before.

@Ron Since Micro.blog supports Markdown, a # at the beginning of a line converts the text to a header. I’ve been thinking about changing this. Doesn’t really make sense for microblog posts or replies.

@Ron You can put a backslash in front of the hash/pound/octothorpe and it will make it safely through.

#ILoveMarkdown

@manton on the other hand, the “edit this post” functionality is buried in the Account settings and the Markdown tip doesn’t hint beyond strong, emphasis, and links. Maybe headers and blockquotes and “and others” should be mentioned right there on the Post page?

Shut your mouth.

@manton markdown is a major feature for me and hope that if you do change this behavior you leave markdown syntax intact

@desparoz +1

@Ron I like Petty. I’m also sad he’s gone! But, I’m also over hearing his music be overplayed as a “tribute.” 😉

@manton I wouldn’t touch the Markdown behaviour for replies, if only because it would make your code more complex.

But: a hash character at the start of a line with no space before the next character probably shouldn’t make a header. I’ve seen some implementations that work that way.

@devilgate @manton Exactly. I thought a # needed a space after it to function as a header.

@devilgate @manton agree with this approach. Hash with no space is a hashtag. With a space it could be a header

@cleverdevil I think that communicates much more clearly than what you posted, which I read as rude, cold & unpleasant. It seemed arrogant & unfair to the memory of a hard working, dedicated musician.

@manton Okay, but how did that Microblog logo/image and the Microblog text get written over the top of my intended hashtag? I've never had anything like that appear before on my postings or anyone else's. Seems more like a bug to me.

@the @Manton Yes, that's what I was trying to get! I don't know how the Microblog image & over written text got in there.

#ugly

@desparoz +1 for no space = hash; space = header. Will certainly confuse some at first, but that’s ok. :)

@Ron Ah, I hadn’t noticed that because the logo doesn’t appear for your post in the apps. Sorry about that! Definitely a display bug... Will fix soon.

@manton you could call it Micro.markdown

@manton line 31 of main.css could change from h1 to .container > h1 / @ron

@cn Thanks! I'll roll out that fix today.
