## I prefer no border for general images 
I would not want every image to be surrounded by a border. Images are added for many reasons, and in many cases a border would not be wanted. For example, a border around a photograph or a diagram could be distracting and would reduce the available width.

## I'm happy with quote blocks for screenshots
Whenever I need to include a screenshot of Codidact that may be confused with the interface of the site itself, I put the screenshot in a quote block. To me, this does not seem like a substitute or a compromise. I think of a screenshot as a visual quote, so a quote block seems fitting.

## I like the compatibility of Markdown
Codidact posts are by default licensed freely, allowing them to be reused anywhere. I like the fact that we use CommonMark Markdown, so that reused content can be rendered without being dependent on Codidact's specific styling. For this reason I am wary of adding non-standard extra features to Markdown.
