Support markdown headings / bold text in markdown-enabled instances
Some Mastodon instances (e.g. koyu.space) have custom extension to Mastodon to enable headings (h1, h2, h3, etc.). We don't currently render these in Pinafore.

Thank you, Nolan!
MarkDown is so important for me, for presenting text well, that I do make choices of what instances to chose as a Home based on having it. Glitch-Social ones, like Koyu.space, render it very well.
I use Markdown frequently on my posts at Muensterland.social - which also is a Glitch-Social instance. (Koyu has some customized code, but the text rendering is untouched from GS, I believe)
Hi again, Nolan.
I noticed some really well formatted MarkDown text while looking at FediLab Lite client the other day. And took a couple screenshots to share here. Might be possible to refer to their source code and see what they use for their MarkDown rendering parameters? Noticed while looking at posts :
- Heading sizes rendered proportionally as expected (examples have H2 and H3 included).
- Unordered List items are rendered in the same font size as regular paragraph text (in Pinafore currently they render in larger font).
- 'Masked URLs' are done elegantly as well - it's noticeable the text is a live link, without it being distracting.
Hope this might help and save you time trying out settings. Thank you for Pinafore!

And the bulleted list shown below is from this post .

There should have been a Space between the Bullet and the LI in the UL example above, otherwise it's very clean and nicely rendered.
