Auto space after "Mention"

[abobader]

@Ehrenas this without manual apply a space.

Thanks.

Hi @abobader,

That's actually working as intended. It behaves the same as other "mention" features such as those found in iMessage and Facebook. The lack of a space is also ideal for situations where you want to place grammar immediately after the username, such as the comma in the top line of this post, or an apostrophe.

I hope that helps to clarify 🙂

Thanks Ehren,

Very good explanation indeed, I wonder if they are some CSS code to place a space will be great.

[Ehren]

Sure thing. Adding this to your custom.css file should add a space after the mention tag inside posts and the editor:

:is(.ipsComposeArea,.ipsType_richText) [data-mentionid]{
	margin-inline-end: .5em;
}

Can you fix the autofill on my android? Drives me nuts that every time it inserts, it places a space after the word. 🤖

That potentially sounds like an Android thing, not a CSS thing 🙂

Darn it, where's my sarcasm emoji...

You’d be surprised at some questions I’ve seen in the past, so I just assumed this was legit too 😅
