2 years ago While this is general, https://github.com/theCrag/website/issues/3383 is about areas
The opposite approach, so typing the link target's name and let the system create the URL for you, is not easy to handle for non-unique names; see e.g. https://github.com/theCrag/website/issues/3941
What happened? If I embed urls from thecrag back into markdown, I'd expect a better / simpler auto link rather than just a url.
eg see this forum:
https://www.thecrag.com/discussion/1244829924/upper-gara-gorge--grading-around-gara
What you expected: If I paste this url into markdown:
Then I think it should link to that page and render something like:
★★ Vulcanology V6
This isn't a full embed, just a simple link with a nicer title. This gives you a much more precise way of linking to exact routes or areas without relying on the auto linking which can be a little off in some cases, and it also adds the extra goodness like the grade and stars for free.
