It seems that \%md\% is only good for one line. If there are 2 consecutive lines with markdown statements, only the first is recognized. The 2nd one is ignored. I have to insert \%md\% before every single markdown statement.

Ignore the \ character. I had to insert it for the percent sign to show.

I'm unable to replicate this. Is this affecting the project description or another field? Can you give me some example text that I can use?

How to get light onto objects that are close to the lens of a small digital camera.

test

blahblah #test# blahbla

The 2nd ‘test’ should also be bold. The 1st ‘test’ is also wrapped in hash-tags.

Inserting a new-line before #test# seems to mend it. In the editor this appears as an extra-wide vertical space. The question is why.

I may be wrong, but I think that's just an artifact of how Markdown works. It expects a blank line before any headers, so you have to hit enter twice to get that blank line in there. It looks odd in the text editor because it's shown as a blank paragraph instead of just a blank line.

Another one...


The project list (my projects) doesn't seem to honour the markdown prefix.
