At StackExchange, GitHub ... I can write:


and get:



I quickly find no result on my question in google. Does anyone know how to do it? Or is it not possible at all?

And here in the editor area I also don't find any possibility to request help for the editor.

GG has its own WYSIWYG editor. AFAIK it doesn't use markdown.

There is an extension called "markdown-here" which will let you toggle markdown text inside gmail and GG. (Haven't tried it myself).

Good luck!

Edit: If your question was mainly about inserting links in gg, just highlight the text you want to link, then click on the word "Link" in the toolbar. Then type or paste in the address you want.

Thanks.
You got my question right. I am using a browser add-on that formats links for my purposes, e.g. for linking this post in a tiddler I get:

[[What markdown dialect uses Google Groups? How to insert a link manually? - Google Groups |https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/kWMuVIs1nX4]] <br/>

But even the highlighting was not yet clear to me, saving me time. 👍

Tried it with distant thought to make it TW syntax.

I can't get it to work.

How to access TiddlyWiki functionality in a browser AddOn?
Has anyone ever done this before? Are there any experiences?

How can I extend a browser AddOn so that TiddlyWiki e.g. renders a plain text link and the rendered result can be used by the browser AddOn?
