I'm glad you like the pc shortcode, but it does differ in some important details from what you suggested. Most importantly, it would have monopolized the shortcode system in a way that would have undermined the creation of other shortcodes. So, I was opposed to implementing exactly what you suggested, but I was interested in providing a shortcode system, and when it came to Game Courier, I eventually realized that shortcodes would be an even more efficient way of linking to pieces in the currently selected set than using JavaScript or treating php scripts as image files. When what I needed for Game Courier fell in place, I realized it would work just as well for more static content, and the same code could be used to process both.

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.
