Frustrated that your link isn't clickable? Wrap the link in < and >, like this:

• <magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a>

• christianbundy@fraction.io

• dat://beakerbrowser.com/
• ssh://git@github.com
• <ssb:message:sha256:ql0-iw3Co5ne39g45oOWfiJc24dbSLccZN9U1knTYIQ> (maybe?)

I don't know how I went so long using Markdown before realizing this.

cc: #markdown-tips #ssb-markdown

FYI: Only the DAT link looks clickable in patchfoo, the other addresses – angle-bracketed or not – look like plain text.

However:

• magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a
• christianbundy@fraction.io
• dat://beakerbrowser.com/
• ssh://git@github.com
• ssb:message:sha256:ql0-iw3Co5ne39g45oOWfiJc24dbSLccZN9U1knTYIQ

@kas Bummer, I didn't realize that the current #ssb-markdown doesn't support that. Should be solved if/when my PR is merged! It seems to be working pretty well now.

@bundy, good to hear. Looking forward to seeing your PR merged.

patchfoo doesn't use ssb-markdown, it uses ssb-marked. same for ssb-viewer and git-ssb-web. patchfoo and git-ssb-web edit the renderer objects to customize the rendering output, and git-ssb-web edits the lexer rules to linkify git object ids. so these won't be able to make use of updates to ssb-markdown as is. ssb-viewer might be the easiest to change to use ssb-markdown - i'm not sure. there is an update to ssb-marked %EnbxTha... that makes it linkify more protocols, but in a quick test I didn't it see it change how the post %HhkEF4y... was rendered. That said, I value compatibility of rendering, so if ssb-markdown is linkifying these then I will probably want to too.

@cel

That makes sense. For what it's worth, my branch of ssb-markdown is CommonMark plus:

• Block: Full HTML output, accepts Markdown string and opts.
  • Any link starting with # has target="_blank" added as a property.
  • Emoji :name: renderer, defaults to UTF-8 emoji output but can use images with opts.emoji function.
  • Linkifier:
    • HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, data, and dat URI schemes by default.
    • Ability for plugins to add HTTP-like protocol handlers in opts.protocols array.
    • Sigil links, hashtags, and @mentions rendered with opts.toUrl() function.
  • Media:
    • Supports alt text starting with audio: or video: to render media players.
    • Wraps all imags in a link to that image with opts.toUrl() function (hmm).
• Inline: Plaintext content preview, accepts Markdown string and opts.
  • Emoji :name: emojifier, defaults to UTF-8 emoji output but can use images with opts.emoji function.
  • Links are replaced with the plaintext text node inside the link (no href).
  • Images are replaced with their alt text.
  • Code blocks are replaced with their HTML-encoded contents.

If you think the git object id linkifier might be a good fit for ssb-markdown I'd be happy to look into adding it to my branch.
