Defect #3114
closed
Text formatting is not applied in activity page
Added by Damien Couderc almost 17 years ago.

Description
The Textile formatting in ticket description is not processed when listed in the activity page.
You can see the problem by looking this ticket in the activity page, you will see 'Textile' surrounded by underscores instead of being in italics.
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Wont fix
Actually, it's not a defect.
There are 2 reasons for that:
- it would make the activity view much slower
- applying textile on truncated text may produce unexpected results
Wouldn't it be possible to calculate the textile-formatted text once when adding the new activity to the database, and storing that as an additional field for the activity? AFAICT the Description is never changed once added, and storing the additional shortened text wouldn't take much additional space.
The problem with truncated text could be fixed using something like http://mikeburnscoder.wordpress.com/2006/11/11/truncating-html-in-ruby/
Not a big problem, but would be nice to fix.
(Thanks for creating such a really nice application!)
