New DW Feature: @username.sitename

Hooray for an easier way to make usernames appear here! Simply type
@username
and you’ll get the right user head:

for people:
@jesse_the_k becomes jesse_the_k

for communities:
@access_fandom becomes access_fandom

for official communities:
@dw-nifty becomes dw_nifty

@ Shortcut for other sites

The @ trick also works with the two dozen external sitenames DW supports: use @username period sitename

@dreamwidth.twitter becomes dreamwidth
@dreamwidth.github becomes dreamwidth

---

( All the details )

Bypassing the @ Shortcut

Dreamwidth makes any characters right after an @ sign into a username. To make the @ sign simply display

• precede the @ with backslash:
  \@WordNextToAtSign
• in HTML, use the character reference @

ETA BUG ALERT never mind, they fixed the bug!
