I came across this by pure accident

If you follow a word with a pair of full stops. That word gets copied into the start of each new paragraph and every paragraph following that gets appended by the paragraph above it

EG:

bullet.. sentence1

sentence2

sentence3

This gives you:

bullet.. sentence1

bullet.. sentence1sentence2

bullet.. sentence1sentence2sentence3

It looks to me like it could either be a Textile bulleting technique that I'm just not utilizing properly (Although I don't see any hints in the Textile Documentation) or some glitch

Can we make this thread about under used features as well? For instance, I see many people going back into article just to add hyperlink tags to images. That actually doesn't need to be done if images are hosted on the site. Example:

! https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/858/960/5a8.gif !

yields:

No hyperlinks included. You can also use the html equivalent <img src=""> and get the same result.

Of course this only works for images hosted on this site and posted in a forum/comment/article.

That's really interesting. How did you even come across this?

I found it in this thread

Where I posted:

Err…don’t just post purely for the sake of posting please

If you absolutely must post but have nothing to add to discussion. At the very least, just post horse.

Originally I had a space where that 3rd full stop is. Which surprised me with:

Err.. don’t just post purely for the sake of posting please

Kek.. let me test that
it may just be your browser

I'd be surprised if it's a Chrome related problem. Textile isn't really dependent on browser functions. I'm pretty sure it does all of its processing server-side

Imma.. try this on firefox

Imma.. try this on firefoxtest

[edit] This is definitely not my browser. My copy of IE is a base install with zero addons

Imma.. try this in IE

Imma.. try this in IEtest1

Imma.. try this in IEtest1test2

This is not a browser issue BSOD. I have posted a few messages with my phone. Used different browsers. The only trigger of this glitch just seems to be the indents or spaces between paragraphs. Especially when they have been used like 3 times or something.
And not just forums. Even comments can be affected as well.
