Hurrah, I learned some stuff!
The code section confused me a little with the spaces and ticks, but other than that, it was pretty easy to follow.

Perhaps keep the explanatory text visible for the challenges?

I assume the differences in discourse and the feature in the tutorial we be tried up some time Iām the future. Last I checked:
- One
- Two
Didnāt work here.
Second, all of the tutorials were straightforward except the last one. The instruction indentations werenāt a clear requirement to my eye in the five seconds I worked on it 
And on my phone emojis still arenāt tooltipping properly.
Edit
I swear to FSM a week ago ordered lists didnāt work. Am I losing my mind?

The first exercise in Images was troublesome for me. The instruction on the intro page didnāt indicate that the first bracketed portion was required, and so I kept trying to place the image URL in a solitary bracket.
The idea is that youād use the āā backā button to get back to the instructions and brush up on the syntax as you work through each exercise. I am a bit loath to put the actual syntax example right there on the page right beside the exercise, feels a bit like putting the answer on the testā¦ cc @daneel
I improved the math exercise instructions per your suggestion.
As mentioned above if you scroll upā¦
Ah good point I added a clarification there.

Well, thatās why I suggested a āhintā button, so the syntax example would be hidden until/unless you wanted to consult it. But, fair enough.
Iāll release it as CC-BY-SA. Iām fine with you using it, as long as everyone knows who the original idiot is.
ā¦
On second thought, just use it without the attribution.

You seem to have changed emoticon entry, such that itās no longer possible to enter emoticons the same way from the keyboard? Was this intentional? @codinghorror
I did find it pretty clear and easy to follow and canāt think of anything to improve off the top of my head. I can go through it again and let you know, though. I assume that this is more people like me who arenāt familiar with writing code, right?
Yes it is for āanyoneā ā anyone willing to type characters in a box on the Internet and press Submit, anyway 
What are you talking about @ratman and how does it relate to the tutorial?

On the first item, the big red plusses seemed to be grabbing my attentionā¦ so I clicked on them until they went away. then I clicked some more. reloaded the page. clicked. went backward, went forwards. clicked around, until I realized I was supposed to be clicking the sedate blue lozenge on the left.
Indentation for lists did not seem to be covered in the review, and I get the feeling there were a few other things that were exercises also not covered in the review, but I do not recall right now.
When on the first post-review exercise, itās easy enough to go back to the review. But when on the second or third itās a nuisance.
Yes, definitely covered, sounds like you did not reach the last exercise?
Edit: idea, after punching all the red plus buttons we could make the blue next button pulsate for attention?

Ok just for you, after making all the red interest points complete, we change the āTry itā button to a nice, urgent, red too:
hmm I should do this for the ānext exercise āā button after achieving success on an exercise, tooā¦ let me make it so

Iāmā¦ uncomfortable with markdown. But thatās just because I learned HTML first. As a tutorial, itās great, simple, does as it says on the tin.
Iām just glad I can use my dumb HTML3 tags to make stuff bold, italic, and to post links and 
.
although I have gotten some use out of the [spoiler] markdown.
Typically, I use the whack to escape out of a tag if I want it displayed as text, is that going to cause problems?
Generally it is less effort to type Markdown which is kind of the point:
what the <i>hell</i> are you guys talking about
what the *hell* are you guys talking about
I love <a href="http://zombo.com">this website</a>
I love [this website](http://zombo.com)
etcetera, but the safe HTML tags are certainly supported and always will be.

The scrollbar in the results box (the right hand box) is not working for me. Canāt see everything that Iām doing.
Can you provide a screenshot of your browser?
Thanks, I see the issueā¦ some of you people are running with browser windows so vertically short (plus toolbars, etc, which eats vertical space) that we detect them as mobile devices
I added some better media queries which donāt automatically assume devices with min-height of < 700px are mobile devices. See if itās better now.
We can blame phablets for this sad state of affairs!

Okay, I see it now.
Like I said, it did not seem easy to go back and forth from exercise to overview. Since the overview is so much smaller than the exercises, perhaps it could be visible on the page, or toggled somehow?
Also, Iām too used to indenting with only two spaces from GitHub, so that messed me up.
