We now do something sensible for spoilers in notifications. A message
like:
```spoiler Luke's father is
Vader. Don't tell anyone else.
```
would be rendered as:
Luke's father is (...)
This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
` Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

We had been using !time() syntax for timestamps so far. Since its
an unreleased feature, we can make changes without affecting many
people.
Fixes#15442.
This commit changes the name of fixture that uses reference to bugdown.
Word backend in backend_markdown is important so to make it clear that
it is backend markdown. These test fixtures are also used in frontend,
so highlighting this is useful.
This commit is part of series of commits aimed at renaming bugdown to
markdown.
This fixes an issues that causes HTML entities inside of inline code
blocks to be converted rather than being displayed literally.
The upstream python-markdown now handles this correctly, so we just use
their implementation with our changes for removing .strip(). As a result
of this migration, we switch backtick pattern to an inline processor
too.
Fixes#12056.
For the codeblock counterpart of this issue, we should follow the
upstream PR https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/pull/990.

Previously, we had implemented:
<span class="timestamp" data-timestamp="unix time">Original text</span>
The new syntax is:
<time timestamp="ISO 8601 string">Original text</time>
<span class="timestamp-error">Invalid time format: Original text</span>
Since python and JS interpretations of the ISO format are very
slightly different, we force both of them to drop milliseconds
and use 'Z' instead of '+00:00' to represent that the string is
in UTC. The resultant strings look like: 2011-04-11T10:20:30Z.
Fixes#15431.
This adds support for a "spoiler" syntax in Zulip's markdown, which
can be used to hide content that one doesn't want to be immediately
visible without a click.
We use our own spoiler block syntax inspired by Zulip's existing quote
and math block markdown extensions, rather than requiring a token on
every line, as is present in some other markdown spoiler
implementations.
Fixes#5802.

We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
We handle fenced code blocks in a preprocessor, and > style blockquotes
are parsed in a blockprocessor. Pymarkdown doesn't run the preprocessors
again on any blocks that it is parsing, and is unlikely to accept our
solution upstream; they intend to convert fenced_code to a block parser.
We simply run all the preprocessors on the text again, with the exception
of NormalizeWhitespace which removed delimiters used by HtmlStash to mark
preprocessed html code. To counter this, we subclass NormalizeWhitespace
and use our customized version for when it is called from a blockparser.
Upstream issue: https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/issues/53Fixes#12800.
We now parse tex and latex as regular languages, highlighting them
with pygments. We only allow 'math' to trigger latex rendering,
which is in line with the documentation.
This commit shifts our timestamp syntax to be of the form:
<span class="timestamp data-timestamp="123456"></span>
since value is not a valid attribute of span elements.
This adds support for syntax like: !time(Jun 7 2017, 6:30 PM) so that
everyone sees the time in their own local timezone. This can be used
when scheduling online meetings, etc.
This adds some hardcoded values for timezones, because of there
being no sureshot way of determining the timezone easily. However,
since the main way of using the feature should be a typeahead for
entering the time, this shouldn't be cause of much concern.
Fixes#5176.
Previously, hanging_lists preprocessor didn't consider anything
indented at 4 or above spaces to be a list. This meant that when
we had a list like:
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
2. 2a
1. 1a
We would insert a newline between 3. 3 and 2. 2a. This resulted
in the block processor breaeking down 1 list into 2 blocks, which
messed up the nesting and indentation for the second block.
This setting is being overridden by the frontend since the last
commit, and the security model is clearer and more robust if we don't
make it appear as though the markdown processor is handling this
issue.

Zulip's modal_link markdown feature has not been used since 2017; it
was a hack used for a 2013-era tutorial feature and was never used
outside that use case.
Unfortunately, it's sloppy implementation was exposed in the markdown
processor for all users, not just the tutorial use case.
More importantly, it was buggy, in that it did not validate the link
using the standard validation approach used by our other code
interacting with links.
The right solution is simply to remove it.
Previously, the input:
====================
- One
- Two
Two continued
====================
Would produce the same output as:
====================
- One
- Two
```
Two continued
```
====================
This was because our CodeBlockProcessor had a higher priority than
the ListIndentProcessor. This issue was discussed here:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/9-issues/topic/continuation.20paragraphs.20in.20list.20items.
Previously, we didn't track opening and closing fences separately,
with led to bugs like not parsing a list that was immediately after
a quoted fence; we treated each ``` as a new fence.
This commit rewrites the function to maintain a stack of currently
open fences. If any of the parent fences is a code fence, we do not
insert a new line before a list.
We also add some test cases specifically to test this behavior with
complexly nested lists.
Fixes#13745.
This commit has a side-effect that we also now allow mixed lists,
but they have different syntax from the commonmark implementation
and our marked output. For example, without the closing li tags:
Input Bugdown Marked
-------------------------------------
<ul>
- Hello <li>Hello <ul><li>Hello</ul>
+ World <li>World <ul><li>World
+ Again <li>Again <li>Again</ul>
* And <li>And <ul><li>And
* Again <li>Again <li>Again</ul>
</ul>
The bugdown render is in line with what a user in #13447 requests.
Fixes#13477.
This brings us in line, and also allows us to style these more like
unordered lists, which is visually more appealing.
On the backend, we now use the default list blockprocessor + sane list
extension of python-markdown to get proper list markup; on the
frontend, we mostly return to upstream's code as they have followed
CommonMark on this issue.
Using <ol> here necessarily removes the behaviour of not renumbering
on lists written like 3, 4, 7; hopefully users will be OK with the
change.
Fixes#12822.
Our implementation requires at least 1 space after the
'#' not not break existing linkifiers like '#123', etc.
that generally follow the convention we show in linkifier
examples.
- [valid] : # Hello
- [valid] : # Hello
- [invalid]: #Hello
For the frontend, we have taken the code from v0.7.0 of
upstream marked and made minor changes to avoid having
to refactor a significant part of our marked code.
For the backend, we merely have to change the regex to
force require spaces after #, and add hashheader to our
list of blockparsers.
Fixes#11418.
Messages with links embedded in blockquotes turn out to be replies to
messages with links, more often than not. Showing previews for links in
replies seems like clutter, and it seems reasonable to turn off previews for
such links.
Modified by punchagan to:
* Add a separate markdown test for de-duplicating inline previews
* Check for number of unique URLs to see if per limit message is crossed
* Use a set for processed URLs instead of a list
Fixes#8379.
The markup output changed but the rendering is the same, so modified
expected output in tests.
There is a regression introduced in one of the new versions of KaTeX,
which produces a warning in our node tests:
```
No character metrics for ' ' in style 'Main-Bold'
```
but the rendering is correct so we can ignore it.
Tracking issue: KaTeX/KaTeX#1994
Fixes#12472.
When an emoji is nested inside another inline tag - like em or strong -
it was getting double processed because of the way the inlinePattern
TreeProcessor runs (it runs recursively). With this fix, we set the
inner text of the emoji span as an AtomicString, preventing us from
double processing the emoji's text.
Fixes#11621
Test Plan:
* Add test case for **😄**, verify it passes.
* Go into local dev server and send "**😄**" to self and verify the DOM
does not have double <span> tags for the emoji.
* Run zerver.tests.test_push_notifications and verify the markdown test case matches
the text_content field properly
This fixes an issue where the hanging unordered list was not
rendering in blockquote; the problem was that we were not
adding an empty line(to satisfy the markdown) for hanging
unordered list if it is in blockquote. Both blockquote
and code block is fenced but we want to avoid rendering
the list if it's in the code block but not in blockquote.
Fixes: #11916.
This fixes an issue where invalid emoji name prevents following
emojis from rendering.
This reverts the code change in
8842349629, while still passing the
tests added in that commit (it seems the original commit had
misdiagnosed an ordering bug and thus introduced this issue).
Fixes: #11770.
This fixes an issue where blank lines between blocks were causing
auto-numbering of list to stop before the blank line resulting
in two separate numbered list instead of one.
Edited significantly by tabbott to explain the tricky details in the
comments.
Fixes: #11651.
We had disabled reference style links in bugdown, however,
we hadn't disabled them in marked. This commit rectifies
that and adds test cases for the same.
Fixes#11350.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:
* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).
* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic
* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).
* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
`src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.
There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.
This migrates Zulip to use a dramatically better set of names and
aliases for our emoji set, defined in emoji_names.py (which is in turn
manually generated from our hand-curated CSV file).
This should significantly improve the experience of using Zulip's
emoji picker and emoji typeahead for finding what one is looking for.
Add 3 new Markdown emoji tests for newlines, emphasis, and links. The
goal of these tests is to ensure that Markdown operations concerning
emoji are preformed in proper order, with emoji being added correctly
based on other Markdown operations.
See suggestion here: https://git.io/flF5W.
This bug is caused by the conversion of newlines to `<br>` statements,
since `>` is not allowed as a character around an emoticon during
translation.
Also, add a new test case for preventing this bug from occurring in the
future.
Fix#9763.
