    Well for those wanting to know, we currently use markdown to parse questions and profiles ( http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). We haven't documented this as we're thinking of switching to a different (and hopefully better) parser soon.

    well, mgaiman, that means nothing to me. I guess I'll just have to remain linkless...

    mike, your internet-speak means nothing to me also, but that's ok, at least you cared enough to comment...

    Mmm... Parsers... I know I heard that term in the single computer science course I took. I'm going to say that it... sorts things? Maybe?

    We've now switched so that links magically link themselves in questions, comments and messages. We no long use markdown.
