Mentions/tags include common punctuation

[Erica]

I’m not quite sure what you’re saying, Erica, about “first tag being input correctly”. The first use of the tag above, @Jane, indeed had no punctuation after it, but only a space. But subsequent uses of it now become new tags/mentions, making it difficult to see all instances/uses of @Jane.

I mean if you use the auto-complete to input it, a space will automatically follow “@Jane”.

To achieve what’s in your screenshot, you’d need to either not use auto-complete to input the tag, or manually delete the space for style reasons, is that right?

I also don’t understand why some punctuation is properly recognized and doesn’t cause new tags, like , and :, but ) and ? are lumped in with the mention/tag:

Exceptions were made for , and : (for : partially to not break Powerpack). Brackets could be used in the future for tag attributes in the future. Haven’t considered the case of ? so it weren’t added to the whitelist of exceptions. That’s the reason behind it.
