[Exact search doesn't seem to be searching in the title](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/279392) is a more specific form of this problem. When this post is marked "status-completed", that one should be too (unless it's marked as a duplicate of this newer broader one). (more) |

My intention with this post was just to highlight that the anonymisation that is already present can be bypassed in some circumstances. If you'd like to see the existing anonymisation removed, I recommend a separate Meta question. I don't have a strong opinion either way.

I hadn't thought of that. For me personally, I can't imagine ever having a need to select text in the preview rather than the question page, but if someone else does, please post an answer/comment.
Similarly, if there's someone who thinks they would find the link sufficiently useful that they are ... (more) |

Oh good point - I'd forgotten about that way. Since your own notification list probably isn't something you need a link back to, I agree that just two links is enough. (more) |

It's my answer to [How to set up a new (development) instance of Codidact/QPixel](https://collab.codidact.org/posts/280451/287707#answer-287707) but it may not be as helpful as you hope as it's specific to Fedora Linux.

Good point - this is a very similar information leak. Mine only leaks this information to the flagger, whereas yours will allow the poster of the deleted post to have a good guess at who deleted their post too.

A: Text colour works in edit preview but not in saved post The fix for "Although div tag is not allowed, it's rendered in the preview" has also fixed this inconsistent style problem.

Editor preview left outdated after adding content without the keyboard Generally when making a change in the input text box for a post, the editor preview updates to reflect the change.

Since there is no voting on comments, and the answer only explains the possibility rather than being a decision to vote on, you could post a separate answer if you'd like voting to indicate community support for your decision. (more) |

My experience with Stack Exchange is several years out of date, and it sounds like this method of indicating language for syntax highlighting may be deprecated.

The example I saw here was on Code Golf Codidact, where the online interpreter [Try it online](https://tio.run/) was used with its Stack Exchange output format, which uses HTML comments for syntax highlighting and 4 spaces of indentation for code blocks, rather than triple backticks. (more) |

On Stack Overflow they are probably used rarely as the language tag on a question will be used to determine the syntax highlighting for the question and its answers.
They are used commonly on Code Golf Stack Exchange, where it is common to have many answers each using a different programming langu... (more) |

The only place I've seen them used is on Stack Exchange. I don't know if my terminology is correct, but they are HTML comments that are recognised by Stack Exchange when rendering syntax highlighting. (more) |
