InputField with ContentType "Password" now sets ★★★★ as real value
available in future release
Reimajo
Unity InputFields can be set to ContentType "Password" to make the entered text show as ★★★★ while still holding the actual text. This worked fine so far. When using the new VRChat Keyboard to input text, Udon now reads ★★★★ instead of the actual entered text, making it unusable.
★ means * but I don't know how to escape this char here to avoid that Canny goes into full markdown mode

A \ mark before every asterisk? edit: I see
EditX: Backticks work. What about
\
asdf\``******** you can have one block of asterisks no problem it seems
Reimajo
Docteh: Now I'm curious. Did you figured a solution without backticks out? This is so weird.

I also tried out all possible things I could think of before with no success. The stars in backticks look even weirder.

Silliest idea, put the entire comment into a code block, then the ******* markdown wont ******* up

Reimajo: looks like one set of asterisk is left alone, it is customary in some places to escape using backticks for being exact about input, so you could say that the user sees ******* which is expected, but the bug is that udon gets
*******
instead of hunter2

Docteh: Your first block of stars looks like it is done without a code block, how did you archieve this?
Docteh
Reimajo: it's left alone as long as the markdown processor doesn't see stars separate from the first group. Give it a row of stars, nothing to change. The moment it can bold or italics something it will.
So the second group must be in a code block. And no
bold
otherwise gets junked *******Reimajo
Docteh: Ok, this explains a lot, while not fully solving this issue that Cannys markdown was made "too simple" to work correctly in all use cases. Kinda funny that they praise it as a feature, while I just find it really lazy from them.
