Merge communication / message formats (Markdown support level different)
Description
Currently, there are five different "kinds" of communication inputs (direct message / chat, dashboard, forum threads, profile status and store description), some of which support a Markdown subset, some of which don't even make Hyperlinks clickable. It would probably make everyone's life easier to merge these. Currently forum entries support much Markdown such as [named](https://hyper.links)
, chat merely turns https://pure.links
into clickable ones and the others (dashboard, store description and IIRC profile status) just stays plain text no matter what.
Impact
All communication affected and hopefully simplified.
Proposal
Use the same input fields and rendering backends for all communication.
