Impulse: tags with emoji or spaces

[gillchristian]

Links to tag search don't work on Impulse when the tag contains emoji or spaces.

• Emoji: https://gillchristian.github.io/digital-garden/impulse.html?q=tag:%F0%9F%8C%B1
• Spaces: https://gillchristian.github.io/digital-garden/impulse.html?q=tag:Foo%20bar

Searching directly in Impulse for a tag that includes emoji works. But it doesn't for tags with spaces.

As a side note, links containing emoji, spaces or both do work on Cerveau:

Can emojis be used in zettel IDs and filenames?

(Soon enough, tags can only contain exactly what's allowed in zettel ID)

[srid]

Spaces ... we should definitely support.

Might have to allow quotting in the search query (as it gets improved), i.e.: tag:"Foo Bar"

At least not in file names. So I guess it makes sense they don't work on tags either.

Should I close this issue and open one specific for spaces? Or is that already under the radar?

Yes, spaces will have to get supported as part of #379. Some things to consider:

• Inline tags (#foo) may not support spaces.
• However, we can "extend" inline tag syntax so that it can support full range of zettel IDs. eg: #[[Foo bar]].
  • Basically the syntax is same as for links, but we tack in a # at the beginning.
  • This means, we would have three types of links: [[ (cf), [[[ (folge), #[[ (reverse-folge).
    • But the second can be treated as an alias for the third; so in effect, there are only two types.
• In YAML metadata, you can already use spaces by quoting, tags: [ "Foo bar"]

EDIT: More thoughts on this at Matrix

Yeah, there are several cases to cover to fully support spaces in tags.

Closing this since #379 will cover it.
