Allow `backticks` in issue titles, PR titles and commits(?)

• Demo on Gitea: https://try.gitea.io/alexanderadam/spectator/issues/1

Description

I'm not sure what's left to say but it would be great if backticks in issue titles would be supported.
According to it's maintainer, goldmark provides an "easy way" to do this.

Left is how it could be and right is Gitea.

I don't think GitHub does support that either

[alexanderadam]

Oh, my fault! Indeed! The behaviour on GitHub came through a browser extension that I use! 😆

What do you think about it in general?

[lafriks]

I have no much opinion tbh. It would require custom markdown rendering implemented to allow only backticks but no other markdown syntax and need to add that in quite some places where issue title is displayed to be consistent.

The question is, where would it stop? If you render issue titles with <code>, PR titles would need the same treatment, which in turn means commit descriptions would need it too for conistency.

I really think commit descriptions should be left as-is to render the same as in a terminal. I don't really like the link replacement that both gitea and GitHub do because it makes a commit description not copyable in verbatim.

Yes, absolutely! I totally agree that all three places should have the backtick logic. I mean, people are using them anyway in commits, as they know it from other places:

• dbba46c
• 55daee8
• 6d0f785
• 714dcf9
• 2f10bfa
• 2f10bfa
  …

So I guess it would be a natural thing to render it like what people had in mind when they used the backticks.

Update: now it does.

Or how Nat put this:

kind of crazy we didn't do this before

😆

PS: They're also supporting emoji completion everywhere.

[silverwind]

Yeah I actually find it quite nice that GH now does it too, so I think we can go ahead with this.

I support this feature. It is obviously a good thing, as it makes titles more readable. If someone implements it, please don't forget to add documentation for it, otherwise it'll be a "secret feature". :D

Does #21432 close this?

[delvh]

Yep, I think so.
