Permit inline CommonMark inside post titles.

+2
−0

Being able to utilise inline CommonMark inside titles would increase brevity when code needs to be included (like software.codidact.com/posts/294603's "lsusb -v"), because I'd need to utilise quotation marks otherwise. Additionally, the usefulness of italicisation to indicate emphasis remains applicable in titles as much as elsewhere.

Per gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/476513#note_2542099021, precedent exists. I know that GitHub and Forgejo support it, too.

I am not sure it'll be a good idea to allow all inline formatting (italic and bold specifically) as I've seen it abused a lot over the years, but we can definitely allow inline code - it should address your use case, and the rest can be made a configuration option for communities to decide (this would also alleviate the abuse concern)

Oleg Valter‭, I agree: linking github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1857#issue-3464760973, because I do not see it here yet. Thank you for the assistance!
