Yup, you're right that's a little ugly. I just turned on Markdown formatting for forum posts. How's this?

What about adding the Markdown formatting to HW submissions too?

Well done, kday. Looking good. ;)

Next forum update: editing?

editing?

HW submissions now use Markdown also. It made most of them look better, but one or two got a little borked. Editing of homework and posts is next.

kday, I think you should style up the and tags.

"em" and "strong" tags.

Ya know...

em { font-style: italic } strong { font-weight: bold }

or whatever.

Good call. I forgot that there's a reset CSS in there that wiped those out. Thanks.

No problemo.

kday, HW submissions look pretty good now. Thanks!

I think with Markdown/Pygments it's possible to change the language used by the syntax highlighting. It looks like it's highlighting according to Java or C++, but it might not be too hard to change it to Scheme.

Although Markdown is being used for post text, the code sections use Google's code prettyfier. It has lisp highlighting built in, but I'm not sure if it's detecting it. I'll look into that.

It doesn't seem like it is possible to edit posts on this forum. That would be a useful feature to have.

Post editing has been added now, along with replying directly to other comments. Thanks for the suggestion.
