Linkify URLs in annotations #156
Conversation
|
Not to nitpick too much, but linkify-it seems to have better support for autolinking text. Thinking about this post-React, this gets significantly easier (and safer) to do if the URLs can be provided as separate pieces of metadata. Is this something we could convert to? |

FWIW I gave linkifyjs a try with a sample url I had while testing #152 with more than one closing parenthesis and it didn't work as expected. I've reported the issue as Hypercontext/linkifyjs#209 (see also markdown-it/linkify-it#23) though arguably it isn't something easily fixable or maybe in scope at all since the url I gave isn't url encoded anyway |

@filippog can you share an example that had this issue? Would be nice to add a test for it. |

javascript-linkify seems to be the only module that handles kibana type links correctly, need to cleanup package-lock.json diff |

Nice, thanks a lot! |
Right now we only convert annotations into links if the entire value is a link, this turns links inside annotation text into clickable hyperlinks.
Fixes #152
