Hugo provides this feature. I know development time could be spent on more important features. But, since the markdown renderer going through a re-write and implementing this feature might not be that hard, it would be great to see it in Gutenberg in the near future.
Thanks!
I wouldn't use it so if someone wants it it would have to come from a user contribution after the markdown rewrite is working
The following crate would be needed for this purpose: https://github.com/jiri/rust-emojicons
The crate doesn't look maintained but is very small/self-contained.
Do people still want that feature? It looks like it would cause a perf loss but probably nothing huge
rust-unic has a good emjoi support through its unic-emoji component.
+1 for this feature
I think this feature can be implemented using gh-emoji crate. To make it work, we could just introduce a few new lines in components/rendering/src/markdown.rs for the normal text (non-code block) text rendering. (and of course, make emoji support configurable in config). PR. @Keats If I have spare time, I'll try to implement this tomorrow and push the new PR
