gfm

Part of the Github Flavored Markdown is to support output of links that will link to users, commit sha's, repo, and issues. This is my understanding, when reading through showdown.js which is included in 'github-flavored-markdown' available on NPM. Do you have any plan for the future to add these features to the parser?

I don't like this aspect because it's specific to one website. Don't get me wrong, I love github, but it assumes that the user of marked uses github as well.

@chjj FWIW. I agree with your opinion here on automatic link insertion for GitHub specific links. If this were implemented we would probably need to somehow work around it for EpicEditor since it is not designed to be used specifically with GitHub.

GFM also runs in a specific context. While the @user syntax always runs, things like #issue and SHA1234 syntax requires passing a repo as the context. You probably don't want to add anything to marked for this.

For anyone interested I wrote a small module to accomplish this: https://npmjs.org/package/gfm-linkify

IMO, it would be great to see this as an option that could be enabled.

Bump. Should this be closed? Or implemented? Or both?

[sylvia43]

Can we close this? We don't want this in the core framework, and there's a package for this already. Let's try to clean up issues.

Autolinking would be useful. Especially since there being an option for gfm in the options kind of made me expect all of GFM to be supported.
