How to prevent tilde indicating subscript?

chewitt

I help manage an open-source project (Tvheadend) that semi-recently migrated 18-years of threads and posts to a new Flarum instance used for our community forum. We have a text display issue that we'd like to resolve:

The project has long-described software releases using a specific format e.g.

tvheadend-4.3-1234~abcdef

It is common for users to include version info in their forum posts, but flarum interprets the tilde character before the githash as the start of subscript text, so posts appear like:

System is RPi4 with "Raspbian" kernel version 5.10.63 and Tvheadend 4.2.8-34_g24a2f59e9

Here's a typical post in-situ that shows this: https://tvheadend.org/d/8988-cannot-start-any-scan

Is there a way to stop this behaviour? .. Some override magic would be awesome but I'd be happy to hack or patch the underlying code if needed.

chewitt i would personally create a local extender that listens on the Post Saving event, use a regex to check for the version and whether it is encapsulated by a code tilde. Then pre and postfix it with the tilde. This way the version would always be rendered as a code snippet.

Can provide example when behind pc.
