Holy ■■■■ that’s so useful. Thank you for that.

you forgot 2 things:
1.

I don’t know why it does this

I don't know why it does this
---

but with an empty line above the one line of text.

2 . this faint seperating line:


---

but with an empty line above it

also the fact that you apparently can’t write:

  1. <-- This is a 1.
code
  1. <-- This should be a 2. or better it IS.

no only the second is correct XD

for1.

that is a problem from the parses

the seperating line ok i think it need no explain but ok i add it this evening ^^ but ihave use it in my guide to separe the guide from my ending comment XD

edit:
after the the a short conversation with kuro, now i know what he mean. its the same bug with 1 little difference.
at the most bb codes the line above dont displayed, at the seperating line the line above get bold
edit2:
the seperating line had 2 diffrent bugs both addet

I should upgrade my forum guide:

The site also supports Markdown. I normally use the Markdown syntax because I think it migrates slightly better between desktop (big screens) and mobile (small screen) rendering.

That explains the “bugs” I would say^^

@Thorbjorn42gbf Your guide will then only confusing because it is much too big and then you thereby finds nothing more.

let him rather on the smaller size where he is now and make a reference to this guide, the guide here is actually not even finished being a bit bigger when I added the last bbcodes

Which flavor?

Good Work, thanks for your effort :wink:
