Threw me off first too - you have to close the code block with another three backticks

using ANamespace;
class AClass

Just a test. It works.
Although my sig is messed up.
Seeing if the sanitizer is up-to-snuff: Yup.

Does it also work with tables?
| Header left | Header centre | Header Right |

No tables unfortunately.

Pity, sometimes in the SQL forum it would be quite useful when drawing tables.

You're going to have to go old school and use HTML.
I'll see if I can shoehorn in an implementation of tables. They are a GitHub extension not supported by the "official" (whatever that means) version of Markdown.

No problem. It's certainly not the end of the world.

Does old and new style markup look the same?
public void NewStyleIndent()
{
}
public void OldStyle()
{
}
public void NewStyleTicks()
{
}
What about NewStyleInline() and OldStyleInline()
... OK, why is a vertical line being shown above code when I view other messages; but not in the edit window; or in the copy of the message I'm replying to here?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The code block actions are only shown on live. Call me lazy.

A skeptic of all things new, I tried markdown for the dirty time about a year ago after my colleagues had raved about it.I love it and I'm a total convert now.
PS: You probably already know this, but as I write this on my Windows phone, the site still has lots of potential for improvement for mobile.
PPS: Speaking of mobile, could the newsletters that are sent out be made without a fixed width? I have to scroll back and forth or "view online".
Cheers!

Now how about a checkbox on the user's forum settings page to disable it?

Finally got to try out one of the places that has featured on the show: Spirito's Italian Diner [^]
It really was a bit of a dive but the food was excellent. 
|
|
|
|
|
Very cool. My kids and I love that show. I need to get out and try one of those places, myself.
|
|
|
|

He went to a Diner near where I used to live and after his visit the food was the same quality but the place advertised he had been there and the prices shot up! We go elsewhere now as nothing was any better than before and there are lots of places around that do just as good food.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

|

Very cool you tried one out.
I was just saying that all the places here are McDonald's.
We only have Corporate Cooked Food. 
It all comes out of the same giant machine.

Just for fun I tried to find one, and so far everywhere I have been either hasn't had one done, or has been so foul looking I didn't bother.
Its amusing watching DDD though, the chefs spend so much time brining, marinating, dry rubbing, basting, cooking, smoking the meat. And then they slap it on a flat top and throw it in a bread roll with cheese! 
I mean, whats wrong with serving it on a plate with some veg and a sauce like the rest of the civilised world does?

Have you seen this book,
The Internet Is NOT the Answer[^]
Well, not sure who ever said it was, so I didn't think it was the answer.
Interesting that Haters going to hate!
But, he's probably right. Way too much expectation of what the Internet (and world wide web) will do.
Interesting idea though.

Wikipedia sure has a lot of answers though

Yeah, the kind of answers that will fail exams for you -- i.e. wrong 55% of the time.

Actually Wikipedia is about as accurate as the Britannica was[^].
And for a more reliable source: Of course[^]
For some reason my professors at the University didn't want their students to use Wikipedia, although some confessed they used it too. Find your information on Wikipedia, then find some sources elsewhere.
And I understand professors would say that, because if they published some article and their only source would be Wikipedia then it looks as if little work has gone in the study and as if any student could do the same, since we can all use Wikipedia. It's just the elite being conservative, as usual

So a study developed and implemented by wikipedia.org found wikipedia to be the bee's knees.
Wow. Huge surprise, that.
I don't know how many details in wikipedia I have personally found that were incorrect, but it's lots.
Very recently, in a discussion in this very Lounge, maxx was continually quoting wikipedia about the BBC Micro, saying things like it was the first commercial home microcomputer (utter bollocks; it was closer to the 21st), and that BBC BASIC was the first BASIC that used subroutines (equally utter bollocks).
Wikipedia is all about ego. Every contributor is unpaid, and contributes largely for the ego boost.
That's fine, if:
- You don't have any conflicting egos (and OH, BOY! do you get conflicting egos in wikipedia).
- Ego-based inaccuracies are corrected, which, in the case of topics with fewer experts actually reading the pages and confirming their content (like the BBC Micro pages) just doesn't happen.
How much do you want to bet that the criteria for wikipedia.org's article selection was based on the number of experts contributing to the articles?
I imagine that there are fashionable-science pages and movie-star pages that are even better than the Britannica offers, but the accuracy of all the other information matters, too!
Very notable, however, is the fact that, even when confronted with the huge number of inaccuracies in wikipedia, people still sing its praises, saying that its the most accurate resource (e.g. even after everything maxx quoted was proven to be inaccurate, he still posted a hundred words declaring that wikipedia is the perfect resource).
Everyone needs to step back from the great idea of letting everyone contribute their knowledge, and turn in the direction that shows that knowledge is only a minor part of what people will always contribute, if given free rein -- the brown, stinky pile is a lot higher than the pile of knowledge.
