There are just two small updates. But as small as they are, it's worth telling you about them. First is a fix to allow you to make an inline image that links elsewhere.
If you don't know how to make inline links in Markdown, they work like this:
[My text](https://example.com)
Extended markdown lets you do this with an image like so:
! [] (https://img.gvid.tv/i/someimage.jpg) Remove the spaces.
You can also do this more intuitively with a special Matrixdown command:
!IMG img-url
There already exists a trick that lets you combine markdown syntax, and I was using it to make these inline images link to the image as well. It would modify the text like this:
! [] (img-url) -> [](img-url)
This makes it so that an image will link to the full image. The problem was that if you wanted to use that syntax yourself, the code would step on its own feet. That's fixed now. So you can link to an arbitrary place with an image.
[](target-url)
I also added a more intuitive !IMGLINK syntax. It supports both a single-line variant and a multi-line variant.
!IMGLINK img-url target-url
or
!IMGLINK
img-url
target-url
I was able to use this on the /Donation page, as an example.
The next addition is going to be a rare one for most people. You can now comment out content. Let's say you are editing some text and you want to see how it looks when omitting some text. But you don't want to erase it in order to refer back to it. You might want that for your own notes or to add back later. Programmers are used to being able to comment out code to refer to later. The syntax for this makes use of markdown blocks.
::: comment
My text that won't get rendered forward.
:::
Maybe that is useful for people writing long-form content. It's helpful to me when editing any of the official pages because I can refer back to prior wording or play around with it more easily. I made it so this comment block will not create HTML. It's not just styled out. So it is secure against inspection from other users. When you edit your comment or post, you will be able to see your comments.
The last topic is really a poll for you guys. It might not be hard for me to add LaTeX formula support. I know @LarrySwinger was in favor of it. My questions are this. Is there interest? Do you guys have a preference for any of the libraries I could weave in?

Images good.
Confused about the latter half.
Neato.
[x] Oblivious to all of this.
