[GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django] Add series markdown in gcd_link_issue links (Issue #684)
jhunterjActual
jhunterjActual created an issue (GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django#684)Series titles can be italicized now, so gcd_link_issue links could italicize the series title portion of the link by adding asterisks to both ends of the title.

jochengcd left a comment (GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django#684)We have nothing in our style guide to italicize GCD data. The reference is to external names, titles of series cataloged in the GCD are explicitly excluded.
This is not a tech aspect at this stage, but a style guide one. Get that changed, and this can be reopened.

The preview will display them italicized].

jochengcd left a comment (GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django#684)I am referring to the last sentence of that paragraph
This does not apply to the titles of series cataloged in the GCD but only to those that are referred to in notes.

jhunterjActual left a comment (GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django#684)I think you're misreading that. The title of the series cataloged in GCD would be just a plain unformatted text field. In the Notes field, where the Notes are stored rather than where the Series title is stored, the titles of magazines (even those also stored in the GCD) would ideally be italicized. The GCD set-up didn't allow it then, but it does now.
