Description

Currently Phabricator has some limitations in it's handling of README.md files in comparison to Github.

This concerns in particular:

  1. Rendering of images should be inline
  2. Additional URI rendering formats

This is tracked by upstream https://secure.phabricator.com/T5698

And to be clear: Yes, this must be done in a way that is compatible to Github.

As an FYI, it looks like there will be movement shortly around rendering in general across the whole of Phabricator for Markdown/Remarkup syntax.

It's not clear if a way to embed files into a Dashboard from a repository (T5400) will come from this, but at the very least it provides the rendering capability needed to support that. Once that is in place, the best way to do this I suspect would be a custom handler for Phabricator's markup so one could ask it to embed a given file and render it accordingly.
