Gitlab flavored markdown

Matthias Käppler requested to merge github/fork/riyad/gitlab-flavored-markdown into master

Created by: riyad

Allows use of Github Flavored Markdown to link to

  • issues (#123 (closed))
  • merge request (!123)
  • commits (1234567)
  • team members (@foo)
  • snippets ($123)

in

  • commit messages
  • notes/comments/wall posts
  • issues
  • merge requests
  • milestones
  • wiki pages

and fulfills much of the promise of #527 (closed).

Please test this before merging and come back with any issues. The links are marked up nicely so individual styling can be applied. For now it will just show a tooltip with some info about the linked item when hovering over the link.

What is not included:

  • linking to notes/attachments (let's say it's complicated)
  • fancy styling (ideas and help appreciated, especially help)
  • making it more discoverable and adding docs/help
  • automated actions or notifications (this will be tough)
