Element Web translates your markdown into HTML when you send a message, and translates it back the other way when you want to edit a message.
This is a great opportunity for round-trip tests!
I am writing some, and finding lots of juicy bugs.
@andybalaam Interesting. I thought it would've used the unformatted text from the event (which seems to almost always be what I typed) instead of working backwards from HTML -> MD
@andybalaam @afranke thinking about it practically, markdown is just one way of rich text input (I mean, you can just use raw HTML too with /html), and technically, the input source doesn't need to be transmitted, just a rich text version for devices that support it (HTML), and a plain text version for devices that don't.
There's no real reason for your original input text to be in the event. It's nice from a users perspective, but useless from most other perspectives.
@andybalaam
What do you mean? It's in `body`, isn't it?
@afranke nope, just HTML.
@afranke pointed out the markdown is in the plain text message. Interesting ... I feel like we probably mangle it though.
@tek_dmn
That would be better, current behaviour is not great as you don't necessarily get something close to what you wrote.
