I have a numpad, and can confirm → works.

Can we have a shortcut button added to insert it, since I see it’s been used quite often?

Edit: @Celestia Paragraph spacing is still a problem.

With escape:

Line 1

Line 2

Without escape:

Line 1
Line 2

Paragraph spacing was only preserved in the past (by inserting nbsp at the end) to preserve the Textile appearance. Now that Textile isn’t a thing, it’s an expectation that people will write Markdown and learn it. However, I might increase spacing between paragraphs to be closer to one full line.

I have had an idea to implement Discord-like :things:, such as :tm:, :r:, as well as those arrows like :rarrow:, :larrow:. I’m not very sure about this feature just yet.

You could extend it to display Derpibooru emoticons too, right? THAT would be neato. :3
We could, but I’m not sure if that’s something we’d do. At the very minimum I’d support commonly-used characters like arrows, dots, trademark, rights, copyright, and so on. We’ll see if we want to extend it any further in the future.

Just a small issue I noticed but many old comments using carets for emotes e.g. ^w^ are now broken (appearing as just a superscript w). There’s also likely some other emotes which use asterisks or whatever that have that happening assuming the same thing happened to them.

I believe Celestia is aware of that one, though I don’t know if they said whether a fix would be made.

This commit was from before the Markdown implementation but I chuckled when I saw it: make textile not eat basics of furry communication
(nevermind that it’s also [perhaps even more primarily] basics of animu communication)
Anyway, ^some kind of mouth here like a period or an underscore^ still needs escaping the eyes… :C
[edit 2] I thought it wasn’t going to be necessary to escape double-newlines to get a full line height break, but it appears that it is required?
no escape

escape

Just bumping this, as it seems to be the same issue. Also the same thing I described when testing some faces. Anything that uses ^, _, or - (i.e. ^-^ ^o^ ^_^ -_- >-< ^V^ _-_) all require escaping to display correctly alongside markdown (part of why I dislike markdown).


\^\-\^ \^o\^ \^\_\^ \-\_\- >\-< \^V\^ \_\-\_

I won’t fix the old broken faces because they were broken even before the Markdown migration…
All of these are, by design, valid Markdown syntax. Although -_- is indeed irritating. I might tune the smart punctuation a bit.

Yeah, I had a few old posts that were broken when they changed the Textile engine. Specifically, formatting across a line break.
*like
so*
I wouldn’t expect them to be fixed now–even though it does work under Markdown. (Note, however, that formatting tags don’t carry across paragraph breaks. Which makes sense if you know the underlying HTML.)

I think I would just reduce the left margin, so the box isn’t inset from where text normally begins.
It looks weird in replies, like here

Strikethrough is supposed to be delimited by double-tildes, but single-tildes do it too:
~strikethrough~ : strikethrough
~~strikethrough~~ : strikethrough
I can’t figure out a way to include backticks in a code block: Thanks, Background Human
trying to \escape` them doesn’t work`
The “escape” button in the editor doesn’t escape dashes.

If you want to include backticks in a code span, you have to use a different number of backticks around it.
`` `behold` `` := `behold`
` ``behold`` ` := ``behold``
``` `one` ``two`` ``` := `one` ``two``
It’s a bit cumbersome, I know.
