[feature request] emojis

[NuLL3rr0r]

Hugo provides this feature. I know development time could be spent on more important features. But, since the markdown renderer going through a re-write and implementing this feature might not be that hard, it would be great to see it in Gutenberg in the near future.

Thanks!

I wouldn't use it so if someone wants it it would have to come from a user contribution after the markdown rewrite is working

The following crate would be needed for this purpose: https://github.com/jiri/rust-emojicons

[Keats]

The crate doesn't look maintained but is very small/self-contained.
Do people still want that feature? It looks like it would cause a perf loss but probably nothing huge

rust-unic has a good emjoi support through its unic-emoji component.

+1 for this feature

I think this feature can be implemented using gh-emoji crate. To make it work, we could just introduce a few new lines in components/rendering/src/markdown.rs for the normal text (non-code block) text rendering. (and of course, make emoji support configurable in config). PR. @Keats If I have spare time, I'll try to implement this tomorrow and push the new PR

It would be great to have a list of supported emojis.

https://github.com/github/gemoji/blob/5361b5639f004a11221fb34dad272d0093ec3239/db/emoji.json is the data file, but it would be great to have a definite list that can be viewed. Is there one?

If not, what do you think if CI would generate the list (using gh_emoji::all) to include in zola's docs? I assume I can prepare a PR to do that.

[Keats]

Not right now but I'd take a PR to include it in the docs as a one-off. Probably not worth making it automatic in the CI, just an example bin that outputs the list is fine
