Gitlab flavored markdown

username-removed-117357 requested to merge github/fork/riyad/gitlab-flavored-markdown into master

Allows use of Github Flavored Markdown to link to

  • issues (#123)
  • 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.

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)
