Integration of HTML in releases notes

[A-d-r-i]

Hello,
Would it be possible to add this function (reading HTML) on the site (or in Markdown, which, if I'm not mistaken, integrates basic HTML)?
This would be very useful in cases where we automatically extract the release notes from the official site (ex: Mendeley-Reference-Manager).

Thanks for your informations!

I thought release notes / description fields already incorporated Markdown support? /cc @designxsteph

Absolutely, it incorporates Markdown without problem (I use it happily) but the HTML is not formatted in my example.

I've converted this over to a discussion.

Some news regarding this issue?

[pauby]

This isn't something we have any plans to implement.

The information in the .nuspec file should be markdown. If you need to display HTML then my suggestion would be to provide a link to the release notes rather than embedding them.

Ok, thanks @pauby 😊

Just to follow up on this...

Allowing direct entry of HTML, and rendering of that HTML on the site, would be an avenue for attack, as a malicious user could put HTML/JavaScript/CSS in there, which would then be output to the package page. This is not something that we are going to be doing. We will only be supporting markdown within the nuspec file.

Thanks for the details Gary! I understand perfectly. I'm going to start a conversion from html to markdown
