The compile instructions for darktable (and several other github sources)
instruct us to enter two dots at the end of the cmake line.
(Which is nothing but shorthand for ‘one level up’.)
If one tries to communicate two dots on pixls.us, things get complicated because of some autocorrect feature™. If entered as ordinary text, two dots are converted into three.
Ordinary text:
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: …
These are three dots: …
And here are four dots: …
Blockquote is not any better:
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: …
These are three dots: …
And here are four dots: …
But Preformatted is treated correct:
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: ..
These are three dots: ...
And here are four dots: ....
You can also use 4 spaces at the beginning of each line instead of the 3 backticks for preformatted text; it will disable syntax highlighting, so words like ‘one’, ‘are’ and ‘And’ won’t be displayed in bold. Just add an empty line before and after the lines indented with 4 spaces.
(empty line)
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: ..
These are three dots: ...
And here are four dots: ....
(empty line)
Is displayed as:
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: ..
These are three dots: ...
And here are four dots: ....
Alternatively, use the triple backticks, but add ‘text’ after the 3rd backtick:
```text
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: ..
These are three dots: ...
And here are four dots: ....
```
is displayed as
This is one dot: .
These are two dots: ..
These are three dots: ...
And here are four dots: ....
