So basically, everything is done like a manuscript now. because
[ s p o i l e r]
this is spoiler
[/ s p o i l e r]
works (removing spaces).
[bold]
trying this just to verify.
[/bold]
So bold and italics need the symbols now ><
[spoiler]This also works[/spoiler]ā¦ you just canāt [spoiler]mix them like
this.[/spoiler]
Iāve noticed that one in private messaging, where I had [/quote] at the end of a line rather than a separate line a bunch of times

Okay, it works as long as thereās no double line break, looks like. Iām honestly not sure if it ever worked with the line break to begin with, anyway

But it does work with only a single line-break?

Iām pretty sure the underscore stuff never worked across lines, but I do think that [spoiler] used to work across lines.
Iāve reported this issue on Discourseās Meta site.

I see their response to you @dfabulich but I donāt see why they made these changes. Seems to be a case of enforcing what is considered āorthodoxā among everyoneā¦

I agree with Samās [quote] example, but I think they took it too far by letting it apply to spoilers. (What would [quote]this[/quote] even do in the middle of a sentence?)

Thereās also a difference between an extreme quote example like that, and something like this. [/quote]
I end up with something like the above fairly frequently when quoting.

It allows better feedback. Pure and simple. When I am discussing peopleās work and I am in the middle of explaining my high level feedback, If I can insert a quote of text in the middle (like these parentheses) then it helps the author visualize or locate what Iām providing feedback about
For example: I find your example [
to be more of a pain then if I can inline quote it in my feedback.

Iām not sure I understand your last response. I asked: what would [quote]this[/quote] even do in the middle of a sentence? Do you have an answer to that?
Would you want/expect these samples to behave the same way?
what would [quote]this[/quote] even do
what would
[quote]
this
[/quote]
even do
That is, youād want it to break up the line like this?
Iām sorry I am not communicating well. Let me try once more.
When I try to copy-paste your words (simulating such for games) into my feedback [quote] I agree with Samās [quote] example, but I think they took it too far by letting it apply to spoilers. (What would [quote]this[/quote] even do in the middle of a sentence?)[/quote] - I would then normally keep the quoted material with the feedback given.
Now When I try to copy-paste your words (simulating such for games) info into my feedback I need to make an entirely new block:
And now I have a second block which may or may not be related to that same feedback above -
Edit - Iām just going to have to try to master more formatting code to accomplish my goal of effective communication. So never mind me.
When I want to talk about formatting, I use the code button to quote the input text.
For example, I would type this when reporting the bug:
When I write this:
```
[quote]this is a quote[/quote]
```
It looks like this:
[quote]this is a quote[/quote]
But I think it should look like this:
[quote]
this is a quote
[/quote]
Instead, I have to write it like this:
```
[quote]
this is a quote
[/quote]
```
And that would look like so:
When I write this:
[quote]this is a quote[/quote]
It looks like this:
But I think it should look like this:
Instead, I have to write it like this:
[quote]
this is a quote
[/quote]

Good news, everyone! You can use <blockquote> instead of [quote] to get the effect you want for quotes.
This is an <blockquote>inline</blockquote> quote.
This is a <blockquote>multi
line
inline
quote</blockquote> and I think you'll find it satisfies your needs.
Looks like:
This is an
inlinequote.
This is a
multiand I think youāll find it satisfies your needs.line
inline
quote
Unfortunately, since thereās no HTML tag for [spoiler], thereās no way to do multi-line inline spoilers. Youāll either have to put [spoiler] on a line by itself or add [spoiler] to each individual paragraph.

Code button for feedback is a double -edged sword because it does not end up the way needed to look in the feedback at times, especially with long prose text blocks intermingling with actual CS script.
I just have established a means to communicate faster because I type both slow and awkwardly but Iāll just have to adapt and find better ways once more.
Iām just really disappointed in the Discourse people (not you) for being so anal on this particular issue. The ābugā as it was was a benign bug and I feel that it is something they could have left as an accidental feature and not pursued as a bug just because it technically was one.
ymmv.
