Hi!

As I mentioned before, I am rewriting PrettyTables.jl to make the system cleaner and allow more features. In this endeavor, I decided to install and use Codeium, a LLM that integrates very nice with Neovim.

I just cannot find words to describe how impressed I am with the current state of those LLM with Julia language.

Take a look at this piece of code where I and writing how to apply a decoration to a Markdown cell:

It literally understood what I am trying to do, how I am trying to do and provided the correct snippet (in gray).

I am so glad that we now have those amazing tools working really nice with Julia 🙂

Did it? Triple stars don’t make the text bold italic as it suggests:

OP’s code used double stars. The extra star is the string concatenation operator. It’s not a triple star.

Actually, triple stars is the correct way in Markdown to make a text bold and italic:

> Bold and Italic

> To emphasize text with bold and italics at the same time, add three asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase. To bold and italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add three asterisks without spaces around the letters.

> The Markdown elements outlined in the original design document.

What you are seeing is a problem with Julia’s Markdown parser probably.
