Firacode: ``` ligature

[RustemB]

Maybe add for ``` ligurate, long dash. For markdowns code blocks, I think so...

[tonsky]

no, this would be too confusing. But better aligned backticks might be a nice idea

[BStudent]

Worse idea, but I'll say it anyway: ...
I was thinking ``` should translate into a little schematic of a screen. 🖥️
I'm writing from an Android tablet, so I don't mean to imply that it should
have tacky shading like this emoji, nor a base pedestal, but you get the
idea...

I don't, really. Why screen?

Like i say it's a bad screen, but when we put those fences around code we
are rendering it like they are rendered on a screen.
It's a bit literal.

IMO

I agree. Using an “image” to represent what is a formatting command would be really confusing.

If this were done, would the same glyph be used for a single backtick used to indicate an inline code snippet in Markdown?

Clearly, as a font, FireCode does not evaluate how a symbol is being used, so attempting to apply semantic context to characters would be impossible to integrate into FiraCode.

Yeah, when I wrote that half facetious comment I was probably still
suffering mental trauma from finding out that some company is bringing back
"clippy."
FiraCode is cool because it's stylistic but it also doesn't go over the top.
The only issues I've had with a few suggestions are in cases where the
language / operator in question is already confusing: making it more
visually appealing can make code more attractive yet even harder to
understand than before, at least for noobs.
