A Mild Complaint

Andrew (he/him) - Nov 21 '18 - - Dev Community

...actually just two problems.

  1. As far as I can tell, there is no obvious link to the Dev.To Editor's Guide which (really reads more like an "Author's Guide" and) is a supremely useful resource for when I forget how to format a liquid tag or something in a post. I think I had to discover for myself that you can embed Dev.To users and posts within your own posts and comments.

    Embed a user with {% user jess %}:

    or a post with {% link awwsmm/getting-the-gist-of-java-15eg %}

    or even a specific comment with {% devcomment 6hpe %}

    Yo dawg, I heard you like browsers.

    There are also embeds for Twitter, Glitch, GitHub, Gist, and lots more. The ability to do this is really cool and I don't think I would have known about it if I hadn't stumbled across the Editor's Guide.

  2. How do I do this?

    Other people seem to know how to make a series of articles into a series of articles, but it's not in the Editor's Guide. Help!

Update:

Another thing I only just discovered: you can add a Table of Contents to the top of your post using inline anchors:

## TOC
  * [Chapter 1](#chapter-1)
  * [Chapter 2](#chapter-2)
  * [Chapter 3](#chapter-3)
