Really? On wefwef my comment shows up with a strikethrough
~test with one tilde~
~~test with two tildes~~
I’ll use two from now I guess.
I don't know wefwef at all, but on the old Reddit apps, as well as Liftoff and Sync, it seems like two is necessary. I'll check your test on desktop Firefox when I get on my computer next, just out of curiosity
No big deal either way! I seem too remember something similar happening with RIF and spoiler tags, too (I think that one was sensitive to where you put after the opening spoiler tag indicator, but it if you were in "new" Reddit, it didn't matter about the spaces)
Markdown is not portable and its annoying. Why cant we have one standard. Come on ISO
*Links to xkcd that everyone always links to
There are ~~five~~ six competing standards
There are different versions of Markdown and they all have slightly different standards although where they're broadly the same they are variable in the particular.
Reddit and I think lemme, although I'm not quite sure, use a version called Cramdown, the problem is if the app rendering the code doesn't think they are using Cramdown and uses something else you get inconsistencies in rendering.
Wikipedia also uses their own media version to be awkward.
