Emoji-Support with this syntax https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/ would be nice.

I am with you friend! 👍

It looks like https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/ut8mb4-support/ is possible, but I think that's just inputting the actual emoji, not the :+1 or whatever.

@jjasghar Yeah, You should be able to already use emoji, Especially if you've created your instance in the last few years. We just don't support the specifically requested syntax, since I'm hesitant due to it not being a particular standard. I think both MacOS and Windows have built-in emoji pickers, Not so common in linux distros yet but there are apps or browser plugins available.

Ah nice, just as I thought.

I understand the hesitation about the “:blah:” syntax/standard, but I think it’s safe to say it’s won out in emoji war. I don’t know anyone whoever thinks “(blah)” (the hipchat?) formatting anymore.

I know little to nothing about php, but someone has to have created a drop in converter right?

You could add something like this to the "Custom HTML Head Content" setting:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/emojify.js/1.1.0/css/basic/emojify.min.css" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/emojify.js/1.1.0/js/emojify.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    emojify.setConfig({img_dir: 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/emojify.js/1.1.0/images/basic/'});
    emojify.run(document.querySelector('.page-content'));
});
</script>

Note, this won't show them in the editor no provide any kind of "selector" interface. Also, the library used is no longer maintained.
