conflicts between -hashtags and -extended-markdown plugins

[crazycells]

hashtags plugin interferes with extended markdown, and title (#anchor) , colored text and spoiler text are not converted anymore...

this is when nodebb-plugin-hashtags plugin is activated:

this is when the plugin is deactivated:

Is it possible to edit the hashtags plugin, so that when there is a special character such as "();/ after a pound sign but before a space, it is not recognized as a tag (or hashtag)?

and this is how it looks for the title:

hashtags plugin thinks I am trying to add a tag called #anchor

or alternatively, extended markdown functions can be excluded from hashtags plugin. I believe, regular markdown functions are excluded in the codes...

we would like to be able to use hashtags freely

so, it would be great if extended markdown functions are excluded from nodebb-plugin-hashtags plugin...

@crazycells can you try changing this line in hashtags plugin from

regex: /(?:^|\s|>|;|")(#[\w\-_]+)/g, // greatly simplified from mentions, but now only supports latin/alphanum

to

regex: /(?:^|\s|>|;|")(#[\w\-_]+)(?=[^>]*<)/g, // greatly simplified from mentions, but now only supports latin/alphanum

Let me know if that works. Seems like the hashtags plugin is matching stuff in html attributes.

Yes, this fix is working.

NodeBB 1.19.3...
extended markdown functions work as markdown, # signs work as tags now...

Will you update the hashtags plugin? or should we fork and apply the change? I guess it is better to update the original plugin, because there are others with the same problem:

Thank you for fixing it in nodebb-plugin-hashtags!
I was very busy so I didn't have the time to fix it in my plugin...
