[Feature Request] Output formatted Mention value

[AFSAngelo]

After a user creates a Mention, it would be nice to be able to output that value to an element outside of a text area. For example, in the text-area I enter "Hi, @trickeyone thanks for making this awesome Angular component!", I'd like to output that to a regular HTML element, say a simple paragraph (i.e. <p>{{ model.value }}</p>), where then the mention is highlighted similar to how it is in the text area. An example would be how Slack displays the mention in a list after it's been entered in the text area. Thanks in advance and great work!

Version of Angular and ng-mentions:

Angular: 7.0

ng-mentions: 2.0.3

So, you're looking for a component that would format the content? I actually made something that works with this component for my work project that does that. I can look at adding a new component that does something similar.

@trickeyone exactly, and that sounds great regarding the work project component. Thanks for the reply and let me know if there's any way I could help and/or just implement separately if you don't want to add it to the core project

Hi @AFSAngelo, I didn't want you to think I'd forgot about this. Work and personal life have been crazy busy. I'll try to get to this sometime in the next month.

No worries at all! Thank you for the update!

Just an update, I haven't forgotten about this. I'm working on it and have it mostly done. Just having to revamp the demo site to accommodate multiple components. Should be up this weekend.

Awesome, looking forward to it and hope you had a great weekend!
