From 922bd89f1702207dcb4c989a1ec24d8cf892b1d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Hagelberg Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 04:42:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [docs] Explain that markdown is enabled on the user settings page. (#1699) * Explain that markdown is enabled on the user settings page. The current wording seems to imply that the input formatting can be set on a per-post basis, which no client currently supports. It's not clear that you have to go to the user settings page to change it. * Update FAQ; some of the missing features are not missing any more! --- docs/faq.md | 4 +--- docs/user_guide/posts.md | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/faq.md b/docs/faq.md index 114b6877d..b113bc676 100644 --- a/docs/faq.md +++ b/docs/faq.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Frequently Asked Questions -- **Where's the user interface?** GoToSocial is just a bare server for the most part and is designed to be used thru external applications.
