A #Fediverse #feditips #mastodon question as a poll: How does #markdown render in your web-UI or Masto-app?

I was astonished when I realized what rendered in my web-UI didn't render at all an app. See the images in the first comment to see what choices A and B would look like. If you see lines rendered without leading symbols or italics, the rendering engine is eating the markdown silently, which is choice C.

This is quoted text starting with a right angle bracket and a space.

This paragraph includes italics quoted by a single asterisk and bold quoted by double asterisks.

• This is a bulleted list item starting with an asterisk and a space.

This is a section header or title starting with a hashtag and a space.

Please boost for more visibility.

Hit up the comments to add further detail, especially if choice C is applicable.

Writing hashtags because having your writing render as expected is important.
