Gitlab flavored markdown

[riyad]

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)

@riyad I'm going to spend few hours for this today. I'll provide a feedback

[IsNull]

+1 Very nice!

[dzaporozhets]

played with it. pretty good :)

Also we need:

• check there is no perfomance decrease
• make link in comment form with help popup containing gitlab markup examples

I'll continue review on next weekend. Or someone from gitlab core will do it earlier.

PS: Great work :)

First of all, I would like to thank you.
There is a little problem http://i.imgur.com/ZG5dc.png
Can you fix that?

[riyad]

@randx how would you measure the performance impact?
@vsizov I'll look into it :)

[optikfluffel]

nice one :D

[riyad]

I've merged with master and fixed the failing tests @vsizov was running into.
It seems the @project variable is not set in all circumstances (e.g. notification mails) which leads GFM to fail. It will now raise an exception if that is the case to make finding the error more obvious.
Also I updated the notification mails to start using the GFM notation.

@riyad lets create a separate helper like GitalbFlavoredMarkdownHelper instead keeping all stuff in app herlper

[dzaporozhets]

lets merge it. tired to wait :)

@riyad thank you!!!

@randx cool thx :D

@riyad What do you mean by "snippets"? The Gists? Can you please attach snippet in your reply. I can't get it working.

[riyad]

@vrybas GitHub calls them Gists. In GitLab they are called "Snippets". You can access them from your project dashboard from the second row of tabs.

Do you see the "Snippets" tab?

[vrybas]

@riyad got it now, thanks
