Whoaaaa, it uses the Markdown library I made for Apollo with a punny name and open-sourced! (Apple did most of the heavy lifting with their open source Markdown engine to give due credit though) https://i.imgur.com/whEvJzi.jpg
Markdown is a way of formatting text, so you can wrap a word in asterisks for instance and it will italicize it upon rendering, Reddit uses it too (optionally, they also have a Fancy Pants Editor that works more like Microsoft Word).
Markdownosaur (my library) takes a Markdown parser Apple open sourced and adds an easy way to use it with the text renderer iOS uses for displaying text, so it's how I display most of the text in my app for Reddit as well.
So basically you say:
I *love* this [link](https://apple.com)
and the library will render it so it looks like:
I love this link
Not sure, maybe Markdown is how they render the ChatGPT output?
That's really awesome to hear, I really like Markdown so being able to make it easier to grok for folks is pretty sick
Naw, I went with an alliteration: Markdownosaur Mega. After unlocking you can use more than 7 asterisks
They do! But in communicating that to clients like apps for Reddit, they provide the raw, unformatted Markdown (the internet basically just works by communicating plain text), so it's up to the client/app to render it into what it should actually look like
