Hide markup in embeds

[danieldegroot2]

If possible, hide markup on links in embeds, i.e. in Discord. (sidenote: Discord is able to use markup for system(/bot)-created embeds)

It is probably best to avoid links to external websites which distract from the event link.

Current behaviour Markup is sent along with the message, cluttering the embed.

Compare OSMCal and the Community forum

• OSMCal event
• Community forum thread

Expected behaviour Markup is hidden, only the display text is visible. This leaves only the human-readable components.

Thanks. After:

The location is being displayed as "at Virtual in None". Consider dropping the marker's location when it is not specified.

@thomersch similar remark;

RSS seems to print Event Website as link with display text "Event Website". Some websites, i.e. OSM AT can't or does not want to print the Event Website as link. So, display text "Event Website" is now stuck appended to the end of the event details/description.

How should such links be handled?

• Seperate field so they can be toggled? (I'm not sure how much control users have over this)
• Remove event website link altogether as its potentially clutter in some places (may be better to use widget for this)
• This is (inevitable and) acceptable behaviour. (does not seem like common practice..)
• Maybe user already has control over it they just haven't made changes. (?)

I.e. https://osmcal.org/event/2172/

Sidenote: They often provide direct link to event location in their description, which is their choice ofc. i.e. https://osmcal.org/event/2164/

(also, text sticks together alot because obviously it can't read/have all the markup in the world.)
