Nice. I'd like to be able to add images to existing market descriptions.

@MartinRandall now you can!

Awesome! Big QOL improvement.

Nice!

Does this mean we might get *markdown* support‽

@LivInTheLookingGlass markdown shortcuts already work! *italics*, ## headings, > quotes, and more get turned into formatted text in the market description editor. Of course, you can also use keyboard shortcuts like ctrl b to bold.

@Sinclair holy cow, I missed that! Now I can make my markets so much prettier, or even make a system of related markets. Maybe I need to play with that a little. If I may add a more niche request, mermaid syntax support would be quite nice, and could allow for flow charts in markets without much extra effort

@LivInTheLookingGlass you may request whatever you'd like, but I think that feature in particular we are unlikely to ever build. In the worlds where we want more charts on manifold, we'd probably just add embeds so people can drop in whimsical, guestimate, etc. In the worlds where we want charts to be drawn on manifold itself (lol), I suspect we'd go with a click-and-drag UI over a text based one.

what about free response options?

@EnopoletusHarding coming soon! I want to fix @ mentions in the editor first before using the new editor for comments and comment-like things

predicted YES

@Sinclair Nice.
