Custom Autolinks

Stephan T. Lavavej edited this page Aug 18, 2020 · 17 revisions

This repo supports custom autolinks, which work in GitHub conversations like issues and pull requests, but not the repo's own files. Anyone can use them simply by mentioning a special prefix, followed by a number.

Examples

Pattern Notes Example
DevCom-<num> Developer Community bugs DevCom-724444
LLVM-<num> Clang/LLVM/libcxx bugs LLVM-41915
LLVM-D<num> Clang/LLVM/libcxx patches LLVM-D73138
LWG-<num> Library Working Group issues LWG-3080
WG21-N<num> WG21 N-numbered documents WG21-N4190
WG21-P<num> WG21 P-numbered proposals WG21-P1209

Note that GitHub's custom autolink syntax doesn't support R-numbered revisions, so you'll need to use https://wg21.link manually if you want to cite P0896R0 versus P0896R4.

Microsoft-internal

We also have custom autolinks to Microsoft-internal bugs and pull requests, like VSO-<num>, MSVC-PR-<num>, OS-<num>, and ArchivedOS-<num>.
