@neil-marcellini, @alexxxwork, sorry for the delay and thank you for the understanding I’ll be available to review the PR, updated proposal looks good to me (the code was perfect from the start, I just wanted to make sure proposal adheres to the new guidelines)
All paid, closing
Cool, I think all that remains is payment for @alexxxwork’s implementation and @eVoloshchak’s review.
Manual regression steps are not needed, but here’s the description https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/14675#issuecomment-1439056539
@alexxxwork IMO we don’t need manual regression tests for this since we have automated tests.
@neil-marcellini all commits signed
Update: The PR is good to go but the commits need to be signed. After @alexxxwork makes those changes we should be good to go.
I asked about that in Slack here.
@neil-marcellini Thanks! Going to finish PR by tomorrow evening.
@alexxxwork I like your proposal. Please also update the Expensimark tests to assert that multi-line italics work.
@alexxxwork, awesome, your solution does resolve the issue! Could you please update your proposal following the proposal template here?
