Speaking of, you gotta let it go. “Natasha is dead. She is dead. She’s dead. Okay?” She knows what you Marvel fans are chirping. “They just don’t want to believe it. They’re like, ‘But she could come back!’ Look, I think the balance of the entire universe is held in her hand. We’re going to have to let it go. She saved the world. Let her have her hero moment.”

    I’m using the lemmy.world web site, and their web-based editor doesn’t seem to have a way to switch into markdown mode. Only text entry, and ‘preview’. ??

    I tried using a TAB, and the cursor leaves the next field, and moves to the “Select language” dropdown control.

    I also tried four spaces, but it ran the two lines together like one line: “She’s dead, Jim.” - Dr. Leonard McCoy

      Ahhh, yeah, you can’t tab like that, I forgot.

      You gotta do a line break. If you hit enter once (enter) You get this.

      If you hit enter twice (enter enter)

      You get this.

      But, if you end your sentence, apply three spaces and then enter, (space space space, enter)
      You get this.

      To indent the second line of that: But, if you end your sentence, apply three spaces and then enter, (space space space, enter)
      (Put your spaces here) You get this.

        Appreciate the help, truly. Unfortunately that didn’t work either.

        I was able to get a space line between the first and second sentence.

        The indentation “kind of” worked, in that it didn’t show a minus/dash but instead a degree circle symbol, then the second line.

        But now, the third line, the one that started with “Edit:” that was crossed out was immediately below the second line, I couldn’t get a blank line via the (space space space enter) technique, like I was able to between the first and second line.

        Here’s a screenshot of the edit in preview mode …

          Weird. I don’t use a browser much for lemmy, guess it’s something to do with their text box.
