Typing out links to bugs and ideas is tedious

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 07:02. New

Currently the only way to create links to other Brainstorm Ideas is to manually create "a href=" HTML tags. This is tedious.

Solution #1: "Idea #1234" should be presented as a link, like bug trackers

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 07:02.

If I type something like "Idea 1234" or "idea #1234" or "idea:1234" in a comment on Brainstorm, it should automatically become a link to that idea: Idea 1234

This would be exactly the same as in bug trackers like Bugzilla where "Bug 1234" becomes a link. "Bug 1234" should work, too, for that matter.

Launchpad or Bugzilla already have nice regexes that could be used for this, I'm sure.

HTML tagging ability is not obvious

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 06:55. New

I just realized that Ideatorrent allows some HTML in the comments, but I can't find any documentation. http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com provides a list of valid tags underneath their comments box, and this should be provided on Ideatorrent, too.

(I will test in the comments below this to see if the same subset of tags work. In the rationale descriptions, links and images

seem to be the only things supported. Italics, bold, blockquote.

Solution #1: Provide a list of valid HTML tags beneath each comment box

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 06:55.

http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com provides a list of valid tags underneath their comments box, and this should be provided on Brainstorm, too.

(Nothing works in these solution boxes either, except links. Italics, bold, blockquote and other tags do not work.

Images work now, too:
