I have updated the menu that appears on the main site, and I will be updating the menu on the Play subdomain in a while. But before I do that, I wanted to test it out here and get feedback from people who may be using different devices, browsers, or operating systems than I am. The menu displays as a drop-down menu on the desktop, and it displays as a list accessible by a menu button on a mobile device. To see both styles of menu on the same device, you can change the user agent or request the mobile or desktop version. Unlike the previous menu, which was entirely CSS, this new menu uses both CSS and JavaScript. When JavaScript is disabled, it will just use CSS, behaving similarly to how it has previously behaved. With JavaScript enabled, it can be navigated with the keyboard, and touch will work in mobile browsers (such as Edge) that do not translate touches into hovers. Keyboard navigation can use the arrow keys, backspace, enter, escape, and the even numeric keypad keys. There is some redundancy of function because some of these keys have side effects in some systems. If, for example, the arrow keys move the page, you can use the numeric keypad without this effect. The main impetus behind the changes was to get the menu to function properly on my Windows 10 tablet with Edge. While doing that, I reorganized the CSS, which may be what corrupted the mobile menu. I did a quick fix for that but wanted something better. This should be the most accessible menu so far. Let me know how it works for you.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>
