[MVP] Tag extraction #40

How do we handle posting microhoops with two words tags ?

amina196 commented 11 years ago

Could you be a little more specific ? Do you mean, how do we format tags with more than one words ?

gabriel-dehan commented 11 years ago

I thought I had answered that. Obviously I did not.

What I mean is : how do we handle posting microhoops with two words tags. "Social entrepreneurship" is a two word tag, and when you post it, writting it "#Social entrepreneurship", only the first word is taken into account (which is a normal behavior as there are no way to determine if the second word is a part of the tag or just a word from the microhoop.). How should we managed two words tags in general ? Should we use dashes ? Or something else ?

Hmmm that requires some more advanced thinking. Ill get back to you on
that.

I think I have found a solution : for a two word tag to be added to a microhoop, it will need to be encapsulated in square brackets :

#[Social entrepreneurship]

That gets the job done for now. Great job guys .

Well, actualy I don't see any other way to handle it. If we want multiword tags, we need to have long tags enclosed in something.

Currently I designed the Tag Extraction gem in a way allowing us to easily change the enclosing characters, so we don't have to use [], we could use (), {}, ||. An other interesting thing is that the enclosing characters are actually removed when you see them in a microhoop. You will only have to write #[bla bla] and see it once and after it will always display as #bla bla. It seems to be the only valid solution I could think of anyway, and it is not really heavy nor too complex for the user IMHO :)

Sweet, let's do it this way then :)
