XMPP URI scheme links not working
Many projects offer help via XMPP rooms or use XMPP for community building and have users mingle, but GitHub markdown does not seem to support XMPP URI format making it very complicated for users to jump on the XMPP train. That is odd as there were previous issues about this which have been closed:
Markdown parsing of URI schemes #202 (May 2013) Markdown links don't seem to work if scheme is something "weird" #426 (Dec 2014) XMPP URI support (RFC5122) #1255 (Feb 2019)
with the last one being the most relevant as it directly references XMPP URI support. I tried this, but even in 2021 GitHub markdown turns XMPP URI links into mailto: links which is a serious problem.
* [XMPP](xmpp:[email protected])
* xmpp:[email protected]
Shows as:
- XMPP
- xmpp:[email protected]
What is missing to make this work?
For the record xmpp: is one of the registered and permitted protocol schemes by web browsers. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler#permitted_schemes
Dear @github team,
In first, I wish you a Happy New Year 2022!
Have you progressed on it?
Example: xmpp:[email protected] does not work, it is mailto.
It is a standard:
- RFC5122: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5122
