Inline tagging using #
Allow for inline creation of tags in the form of: "#tag"
This will require post processing since Markdown doesn't distinguish the heading "# h1" from "#h1"
There are other considerations to this feature:
- I think we might need to implement autocomplete UI where as soon as you type "#" and type a letter instead of a space the autocomplete UI pops up below the carrate to show relevant tags, that way users don't create variations on the same tags by accident: (Tags, tags, tag, etc.)
- Tags need to be highlighted in some way so we need to do additional post conversion to make them colored blue with an underline as a style.
- Tags need to be links, clicking on them should take users to the tag tab with the appropriate tag selected.
More thought is needed for this feature.
Just a reminder:
If it's going to be implemented, first, there should be a setting to see if they want to use hashtags, that way in case that people who use Day One would import their entries and they disable the hashtag system, then they could disable it as well on Journaley.
For the parsing, we store all tags into database (which we already do, saw that on the code) then read the raw Markdown text initially before rendering. Check the difference between hash with a space (headers) and hash that does not (hashtags).
When it's done, post Markdown conversion, we search the html over to check over tags with text enclosed in headings tags (<h1>) and put them back as hashtags.
Anyone having a better idea than this?

I don't get this part, are you saying tags enclosed in h1 tags as in: "# #hashtag"?

As it says:
post Markdown conversion
Meaning, every hash becomes headings. Like example:
#MyCoolHashtag
into:
<h1>MyCoolHashtag.</h1>
We assume that MyCoolHashtag tag exists in our database and we search the instance of <h1>MyCoolHashtag.</h1> to strip off the <h1> tags and convert that into either a line #MyCoolTag or enclosed in <p> tags, <p>#MyCoolTag</p>
Oh right, because of the issue where # tag and #tag are the same in Markdown. I see now. Then I agree with what you said
Yeah, Day One can differentiate hashtags and heading 1's.
I just put this here for reference, maybe I might get into that.
