Obviously particular markdown versions vary from site to site, but one of the Discord markdown elements I’ve really gotten to like is surrounding tildes or double-tildes for strikethrough. Any chance we could get that for Wolfery?
Wouldn’t mind having access to strikethrough. Can’t imagine the logic would be too hard.
It’s probably easier then when I asked for subscripts and superscripts… at least strikethrough has a standard formatting.
The logic for it all in place, already. It would take 15 min to implement once decided.
Double tilde would work too.
But the reason why we don’t have it yet (together with other stylings such as color, font size, quoting, or inline images) is because I don’t see how it would be used.
My main question about it is; will it help in creating more expressive RP poses, or will it rather distract from RP and make it more like a chat? And when used to express yourself in RP, what sort of expression would that be?
It would sure make sense in the context of descriptions. Less for the actual character speech.
Strikethrough is nice for some comedic effect in speech. We have some nice markdown already!
I know some folks use strikethrough the same way I use subscript to whisper something under their breath.
Yeah, mostly comedic effect or to show how many bodies I’ve hidden in the clos h-how I’m backpedaling in my conversation.
We might also consider superscript and subscript since sometimes people use it for side muttering or lofted tones. Seems we already have sub/super
A fun fact: there are three closets for bodies storage in Sinder.
I’m on team --Just use subscript-- to mean sotto voce muttering. It’s a non-obvious feature that’s fun to use and delightful to see in practice. (I was taught it only a few weeks ago, by a new player!)
I’m not sure strikethrough adds much to IC expressions range, though it can be somewhat useful for backpedalling or for anguished speech.
Fair enough. I am convinced
Especially by @Shinyuu’s argument about using it in descriptions.
But also; if used in communication, it is not very disruptive (we are not talking animated gifs here). So… no real harm!
I’ll add it. So, if I understood you correctly, we use double tilde?

gets us:
Accipiter looks at the prices:
10wc,5wc,2wc. Free! Just take them already.
Double tilde is something of a standard for this, yep.
