Issue comment - Parse hashtag on comment

I have to go on Github to see the correct issue.

[karlcow]

yes good point and plus I think we could make it better than GitHub. Let's not just implement the github feature.

• A link to the issue
• Maybe a status icon through CSS content or background image?
• A title attribute with the name of the issue.

[miketaylr]

Good suggestions. I should also probably add our fork of marked.js to the repo as well.

Adding needs-design label for status icons.

[calexity]

Is this along the lines of what you were thinking @magsout @karlcow @miketaylr?

[karlcow]

Yes something like this. That's cool.
I would put either icon or text but not both for the status.

[calexity]

In that case, I think the text is clearer. I'd drop the icon at least until we've had them for a while.

[magsout]

A tooltip or title perhaps? I am concerned if we add the title of issue in the middle of the sentence, becomes difficult to understand, especially if we just add a reference

[karlcow]

@magsout yes. good grief, it can be overloaded. Let's imagine how these could be manipulated, changed, etc. The question is more about, how do we want it. :)

Another way of doing it (layout can be changed, just illustrating the concept):

Could become something like:

[magsout]

I like the second 👍

[karlcow]

Note that this is just exploration. I really think we can do better. Any suggestions are welcome. :)

[calexity]

I love the tooltip idea! Though it wouldn't work on mobile.

Something like this

[miketaylr]

• add marked.js fork to our repo
• implement issue parsing

[miketaylr]

After doing some investigating, it seems Marked.js is very buggy and hacking support for this might be not worth it. Right now emoji and @username stuff only works if it's the only item of a block/paragraph. https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it looks promising and has a nice plugin architecture, already with emoji plugin and a "hashtag" plugin that could be extended for issue linking.

[miketaylr]

Let's take care of #604 then we can properly do this.

[karlcow]

#604 is done. Where do we stand on this one for @usernames and #numbers?
