Quote source tag will not accept Markdown links #19

Open jrubenoff opened 10 years ago

jrubenoff commented 10 years ago

Jekyll refuses to compile quote posts containing Markdown links in the source.

Probably not something we need to enable but we should at least add error validation for this.

'Source' as in the URL field?

jrubenoff commented 10 years ago

The Source field in the quote form.

If we can get some syntax highlighting in for Markdown I think that'll help, but would it potentially be worth trying to visually suggest what is plaintext (YAML matter) and what is plausibly rich text?

We can probably validate that field, but it might be nice to indicate what the user can expect to be viable.

Yup, definitely, but error validation of YAML fields seems pretty crucial regardless of the design. If Jekyll doesn't compile, it doesn't compile. There's no notification to the user in our front-end that they made a mistake.
