URI.js would be awesome for this. I can throw together a pull request tonight unless someone beats me to it.

Also, what about a more general solution to text formatting in comments, like markdown?

[josephwegner]

+1 for markdown. But you'd probably want a modified parser rather than the generic ones - a lot of markdown elements don't make sense in a comment (h1-3, img)

The marked lib. looks like a good fit -- the gfm option seems somehow appropriate -- and it allows you to directly override renderer methods.

@cgroner, took your advice on marked. It looks great.

Only concern with Jade is that you need to use != which drops raw HTML. That seems like a security thing.

Might be too late but why not leave markdown parsing to the browser? Then you can leave everything escaped however you want.

Markdown is in, which includes linking... Closing this.
