You are correct on plain vanilla mastodon. But QOTO has quite a few extra features and formatted posts is one of them.
He is more than welcome to use my code if he'd like. Not that its really my code, I took it from a PR I think.
@xianc78 @freemo @Jojothegoodperson HTML isn't the best idea tbh unless it's highly sanitized, but markdown support would be nice.
@matrix @freemo @Jojothegoodperson I'm one of the few people who prefers BBCode over Markdown.
@xianc78 @freemo @Jojothegoodperson Or BBCode, or both. Overall higher compatibly with Pleroma would be awesome.
@freemo @Jojothegoodperson My admin, @matrix is running his own fork of Mastodon. I wonder if he could add that. Or I could finally get off my ass and add it in myself.
