Preview <> Jobs Board, Changes after Merge
In https://github.com/opensourcedesign/jobs/pull/202 @jdittrich made some changes and me too later. Reason was basically that my lists starting with * were not recognized as such. But in particular I messed up later with links like <a href="">Foo</a> that are shown as expected in the github preview but not when the job is posted on the board. After merging it I've seen the problem but being not able to fix it. My try to change the file https://github.com/opensourcedesign/jobs/commit/62c25327909f96d98e591c9a4d7e9e39370739fb directly failed, likely because of missing access right, but that's a guess.
In the end I have no idea what happens to the job since the text is kind of scrambled on the board. It starts with pieces from the end, has varying fonts, and the links are not interactive. So besides the failed experiments to solve it myself the post needs some rework.

@HeikoTietze are you asking for the ability of people who submit jobs to be able to see a preview of them "after" they have been accepted (merged) in? Seems confusing, as in that case, the jobs are "public" as in on the site at that point.
Github preview of changes doesn't match the job board. In particular I tried to do the a href thingy which works here but not there. And I ask primarily to solve the job at the board.
@HeikoTietze @bnvk As far as I understand it, it is a usability bug for now that can be solved in various ways.
I, too, was also involved in trying to fix this job and was not able to do it right/as I expected.
The most obvious problem is the mismatch of actual rendering vs. preview in Github (or wherever one previews), as well as that the loop for seeing the actual rendering being quite large (pull request, merge…)
Maybe some form of preview that gets automatically generated based on the content in the PR? This would be pretty javascript heavy and some heavy lifting, but do-able.
Would love to offer a way for job posters to view their job post after posting, either via the page or via the PR that get's generated in the jobs repo! will consider for the jobs page design work.
