Answer 1

To be honest I'd prefer SL to use mono in the output console - my ASCII constructions would look better ;)

Answer 2

@Barış Can Ceylan - ah, challenges. I was thinking discussions.

The render engine isn't (to me) clearly HTML or even BBCode like StackExchange...input accepts some clipboard-origin formatting, but output hasn't rendered anything more interesting for me than unicode.

Do you have a specific font in mind?

Answer 3

I'm not really a fan; CodePlayground's already fixed-width, it's wider, pinch-to-zoom and linking code (without losing your place) is way easier with the latest update.

Personally, I'd rather have a way to mark snippets as related to a question, so that they can be collected together (not only in your own view...but it would be cool to see a list of 'patches' someone offered to the asker).

Answer 4

@Kuba YES. That too. I spent so long trying to line up box chars (unicode, ASCII, terminal tricks) and finally went with a set that matched 'space' width.

Answer 5

@Kirk Same story here, man. Same story...

Answer 6

The way code blocks look in challenges when you are on clock is messy and hard to read. Sometimes indentation is buggy too. If they are html templates, a simple wrap with <pre> tag or something similar would fix the issue.
