It's my top feature request, I mean you have to be able to post inline links, bullet points, code segments, etc on a site like this. IMO.

You can already do all of your examples. URLs are autolinked, bullet points just require \n\n, and there's a 4-space prefix for preformatted text.

I think extraneous formatting would just create more incentives to write long, pretentious, streams of consciousness comments where someone just screams from their soap box instead of actually engaging anyone.

That is:

- Bullet list - Item 2

    And preformatting which you DON'T want for quotes because they are very annoying to read on mobile

You forgot to hit Enter twice between each list item.
