Markdown Support on SoloLearn?

Question

I am a fairly new user to SoloLearn, my apologies if this isn't posted in the appropriate place.

Is there not markdown support anywhere on this platform? In posts/comments, or in the Create area?

I really love this platform so far, but the lack of simple markdown support (or maybe just my inability to find it?) leaves a huge gap in functionality and misses the mark for a highly in-demand feature. Markdown is so readily supported almost everywhere; it's practically an expectation at this point.

Solearns Create section and the social aspect it offers is awesome, works amazingly, and is pretty unique, espeially for users limited to mobile devices. There is so much potential there!! I feel it even gives this platform an edge over GitHub Gists, to an extent. But if users could also share rendered Markdown files, I would probably never use Gists again.

So what's the deal with no Markdown and what can we do to make it happen??

if you mean markdown tutorials, it's relatively easy to learn so it's just a matter of searching for 'markdown tutorials'.

if you mean rendering markdown, you could try markdown parser libraries like markedjs...

one thing to remember is that there is no universal standard for markdown, so many variations are available.
