How about we take some ‘real questions’ from the existing forum and try adding them here… to judge what it looks like?

If you go to https://our.cork.nl you will get a dev version of the forum and at the bottom of each thread you should see the “Continue discussion” button.
Sometimes this get stuck in “Loading…” and refreshing the page helps. I have already found a way to not do this in flaky javascript and instead do this server-side so we don’t have this “Loading…” state at all.
Anyway, after tap “Continue discussion” the opening post will be available to comment on in this forum.
It takes the first x chars and then you can exp
And you can expand it to load the rest:

Snazzy stuff Seb. Intesresting to come along and ‘test’
Really like the image settings here and how they expand but you can also download them or view the original. Nice when you really need to zoom in on something!

Quite often when I reply to a forum post, I’ll include some HTML or code sample sometimes inline with text sometimes inside a block <p> a tag, and then on ‘first post’ EDITED
<p>example</p>
and block
<script>
hello('world');
</script>
it is turned into actual HTML and doesn’t show, which is super annoying, so you re-read your post, and edit it and change all < with < manually to make it render ok as HTML…
So I’m typing this to see what happens here…
well I get this popup!
so it knows I’ve included markup and it’s telling me to use backtickets or the </> button but if you look at the ‘reply’ toolbar, it doesn’t have the </> button!
Somewhat unrelated but… How do i post a reaction other than the “like” button? Like this:
Also unrelated… I think this is problematic:
(See explanation here: How long is someone considered a "new" user?)
Hover/mouse over the heart and you get a dialog to pick and choose from @HFloyd

Nope. When I hover all I see is a tooltip saying “Like this post” This is in Edge. Same result in Chrome. Ditto in Firefox

Perhaps related to being a new user you only get limited reactions to begin with?!
Oh weird…
Now that you’re a level 1 user @HFloyd do you see the updated toolbar with the ... menu?
And the additional emoji reactions?

It now works on my phone. Though at first I had a login issue with GitHub (others might have this issue, so we might want to link to this solution in forum docs unable to login Github' website if a github app in phone · community · Discussion #143029 · GitHub
I’ll check again on my laptop in a bit.
UPDATE: Still not working on Desktop/Laptop:
No matter how long I “hover” this is what I see:
Ps. can we get a “strikethrough” option in the RTE?
Does strikethrough work if you know the markdown syntax
Lets test and see
It’s ~~ either side of the words you want @HFloyd

Can you do a hard refresh? They cache these things pretty well. On mobile you long tap the heart for extra options.
I have not yet found a way to add to the toolbar or order the buttons. I’m sure I will at some point. But yes as Warren mentions, loads of markdown options that work out of the box.
Hard refresh with cache clear didn’t change anything. Am I the only one with this issue? It did work for me on mobile…
@sebastiaan Yes I don’t have the code insert option on my toolbar…
… I know I can add markdown
but thinking that inserting a code snippet is going to be a really common activity, and that it warns you to tell you to press the button… we should try and get the button from the getto? or get people up to level 1 quickly?
Everybody is now level 1 by default when they sign up. Do you have the button in the toolbar now? I am pretty sure you should have had it at level 0 as well.
