Thanks

Thanks for giving us the lowdown on markdown.
This notation doesn't look any simpler to me than the basic html tags allowed, but of course 'easy' always means what you already know.
But at a time when many site functions are already broken and emails and notifications regularly go AWOL, I'm not sure it's a good idea to add more features.

HTML table
May 27
Right, if you meant 'HTML table', then unfortunately the allowed tags don't allow it. A possible explanation is that they use HTML tables for the forum page layout, so a badly tagged post could potentially mess up the whole page if they don't have a table tag checker (which shouldn't be too difficult to implement, I guess).
The only thing you can do for now is to post it as an image, which is not ideal.

You could do some fancy stuff with Blockquote and CSS to simulate a table, but it would only be useful for a handful of CSS nerds, and the layout might be distorted on a smaller screen.
This is probably not high priority for Proz right in the middle of their coding migration with bugs all over the place. ▲ Collapse

I still hope that they'll add Markdown compatibility to the forum editor. Using double * for bold and especially single * for lists is just so much simpler.
