Feat: Add a way to escape mentions #3517

Open raphj opened 3 years ago

raphj commented 3 years ago

Feature description and goals

In Mattermost and other tools, it is possible to escape mentions (@all is not triggered) by using teletype text (<code>, ticks in markdown). I find myself using it quite regularily, possibly because we need to talk a lot about mentions themselves these days.

To be discussed

teletype is deprecated: https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tt

ok, I replaced the tag by <code>

A zero-width space is a good workaround to block mentions. It could be a technical solution for markdown too, should we implement markdown notes / comment, though not 100% satisfying.

Note: this is less of an issue since #3722 is fixed, but it would still be useful to be able to write escaped mentions related to actual space members.

A zero-width space

I don't like the idea to rely on such characters which can cause ununderstandable issues.
