RAA feature request - clickable urls and spaces

[Simon Strandgaard]

I have 2 minor issues with the "Description" output.

When I see at my own RAA entry
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/aeditor/

issue#1:
In the Description text.. RAA shows a different letter than space (Â).
Readability of that RAA entry could be improved by showing a real space.

issue#2:
In the Description text.. RAA doesn't make URL's clickable.
It could be made more usable if RAA identified and make
URL's clickable.


If I look with YARAA then only issue#2 is present
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=aeditor


Beside these 2 issues.. Thanks for RAA.

Hmm. It seems useful if we can specify description parsing/formatting
style on submitting. Let me give it a try.

Is that really neccessary?

In Opera one simply marks the URL and then tells it to open the URL
(that's an item in the context menu). The same works in Mozilla
(including Firefox) provided that you install a extension called
"Plain Text Links". I guess that Internet Intruder has such a feature
as well.

Necessary, no. A good idea, yes.

You'd guess wrong. Usability suggests that Simon's idea is really good.

Hi, all,



Check RAA.

Great! One more suggestion - see
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rmagick/ for example; it'd be nice if
inlined URLs like the ones in
A binding for ImageMagick (www.imagemagick.org) and GraphicsMagick
(www.graphicsmagick.org).
were also clickable.

No automatic URL detection now... The owner can update the rmagic
entry; selecting "RD" or "RDoc" as description_format field and
writing description field in RD or RDoc format.
