Try it!

I haven’t seen another Lemmy client that lets you write code in your post with real-time syntax highlighting. It’s not just code. Write your posts in rich text without toggling between Markdown and preview.

There are a lot of Lemmy clients, so I’m sure someone else does this. But I wanted to share in case anyone else finds this helpful.

I don't use it, but I'm sure that Emacs's lem.el Lemmy client can also do it, as emacs has Markdown syntax highlighting.

Yeah, it's got markdown-mode as a dependency, so it'll be using that for composition.

EDIT: Yeah, and it mentions "rich post compose".

That’s pretty cool! But if thats the closest thing, I think I can safely say this is a unique feature in the non terminal ui class of Lemmy clients.
