Do you think HN should add support for smileys?

Question

phaemon · Accepted Answer

No, I prefer not to have a mess of colours and quite like the plain look.What I would like is better support for quoting text and code. Code formatting is horribly broken, especially on mobile, and it seems like an easy fix that wouldn't upset anyone.
