Additional markdown syntax

(#3536) Feature Under consideration markdown

Current problem

The following markdown examples are not currently supported.

Proposed change

That the following markdown options to be made available:
  • ===text=== to highlight the enclosed string
  • Text[^1] and [^1] [elaboration] for footnotes
  • String~subscript~string for subscript
  • String~superscript~string for superscript
  • > [!TEXT] for custom callouts beyond Note, Tip, Important, Warning, and Caution

Optional Reading

In case this ends up being a place to consolidate markdown options, here are other ones I would've suggested but other posts already exist for them:

Additional information

  • I believe highlight defaults to yellow, but would probably not be noticeable on light themes, so perhaps a custom colour option?
  • Not sure how to implement custom iconography for custom callouts, maybe reference an inline SVG?
  • Footnotes would behave the same as clicking a reply header
