Allow creating Remarkup pastes
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Is there any reason not to allow Remarkup pastes? Currently, when we are writing Diviner documentation, we use Phriction as a way to preview the documentation during code review. This has the unintended side effect that mentions are generated (alincoln mentioned this in **Some draft document**).

For this use case, I mostly think it should be a lot easier to preview Diviner documentation. You could maybe imagine a command like:

arc diviner some_file.c

...which would push the file into some temporary area in Diviner and open your browser to preview it. It could have, e.g., a --watch flag to automatically sync updates, too.

I don't think there's any reason we couldn't have Remarkup in Pastes, but I would expect things like @mentions to be live there if we did, so that wouldn't solve the problem. (We do currently have a "Remarkup" setting, but it highlights remarkup source code.)

For this stuff today, I just paste it into a comment on a task and use the "Preview" section, but that isn't sharable
