IssueReferenceFilter will end up processing internal issue references
when a project uses an external issues tracker while still using
internal issue references (in the form of `#\d+`). This commit ensures
that these links are rendered as external issue links, regardless of
whether the project one currently views uses an internal or external
issues tracker.
Fixesgitlab-org/gitlab-ce#19036, gitlab-com/performance#16
This method returns an Array of the HTML nodes as yielded by
ReferenceFilter#each_node. The method's return value is memoized to
allow multiple calls without having to re-query the input document.
This splits the Markdown rendering and reference extraction phases into
two distinct code bases. The reference extraction phase no longer relies
on the html-pipeline Gem (and any related code) and allows for
extracting of references from multiple HTML nodes in a single pass. This
means that if you want to extract user references from 200 comments you
no longer need to run 200 times N number of queries, instead only a
handful of queries may be needed.
These filters now use a single iteration over all the document nodes
instead of multiple ones. This in turn allows variables to be re-used
(e.g. links only have to be unescaped once). Combined with some other
refactoring this can drastically reduce render timings.
