Feedback Adding Markdown support for forum posts

Markdown- a great and popular solution for writing pretty formatted documents quickly.

Already used on some common platforms like:
- GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket etc.
- Jira
- Slack
- Reddit

To point out just one of the problems with the current solution for text formatting:
Right now code blocks support C#, Boo, and Javascript languages. Two of those are no longer supported in the engine. Unity as of today uses at least JSON, UXML, USS, and C#.

Adding support for markdown in Unity forums would greatly improve user experience.
- most likely already familiar to a lot of users
- ability to write richer posts and code examples
- ability to present code in a clearer more readable way
- inline code blocks
- code blocks with support for more languages

 

Bumping this up! I'm quite surprised to see no reaction this. No support from community. No answer from Unity.

Markdown is must have. I believe the most of developers are used to type in Markdown. And typing here is PITA.

 

Also bumping this up.

Markdown is much more compact and writing

`variableName`

instead of using "icode" bb tags is much faster and more convenient. Same goes for lists and code blocks.
