I know. Though I sometimes forget to do it. Though I actually do it old school. When I do it I tend to use actual HTML and an a href="" followed by a /a closing tag. Though sometimes when I am posting fast I forget. I don't intuitively think of the markdown method though, so thanks. :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
this is a nice overview of MD syntax. maybe it helps. Md is about the simples syntax I've ever came across.
also you can have a look at this site which is written in md, here you can find the underlying md file.
what games did you make? I only know scientific computing. Maybe someday I can broaden my perspective on coding =)
cheers
I made tons of games for friends and myself over the years. Didn't make any money on them. As to professional things.
I coded on the final Premium module for Neverwinter Nights by Bioware/Atari/WoTC called The Wyvern Crown of Cormyr.
I also then wrote all the horse scripts for the new horse system and a few other scripts for the final 1.69 patch for Neverwinter Nights by Bioware.
I've done quite a bit of modding.
I currently have a project called Wormhole Ventures which was greenlit on steam and I need to finish it and release it, but about two weeks after I found out it had been greenlit (after waiting 570 days) I discovered this place called steemit and I've been a bit distracted.
I am a Network Engineer by profession, I do the gamedev on the side mostly for fun, but it looks like I may be able to make some money off of it and who knows some day that may be how I make my living. That and steem. :)
Thanks for the links... I just need to USE it. The syntax is easy, you are correct I need to use it quite a bit and then it will be internalized.
I do both as well even in posts I wind up using raw html to format easily. can you escape the tags I always write them <img'>image</img'> when I try to help someone else but totally forgot if I could backslash them out in markdown. I'll look into it if you arent sure.
And yes no problem. I think it looks cleaner when scrolling, but I understand and sometimes wish the copy/paste drag and drop like facebook allows.
I prefer the formatted links though, and will try to remember. I don't know a lot of the cool markdown though I'll pick it up. Mostly italics bold and italicized bold which I probably over use the last. I try to do things like u and /u for underline and i and /i and b and /b and it doesn't work. So the mix of some HTML works and some does not, is still something I'm learning. Ordered and Unordered lists still work well. It's also been awhile since I messed with HTML much. Most of my code has been C# lately for game development, not web design. :) See steemit is making me dust off old skills, and teaching me some new ones. Thanks for your input, always appreciated.
EDIT: As for escaping tags... I keep looking for a codeblock or something like that but haven't really been able to pull that off yet.
EDIT 2: My most recent blog post I had formatted links and lists at the bottom... I'm moving up in the world. :P
