If you want to use the @ mention functionality for linking a user name to a user profile, which includes the nice pop up modal when you hover over a user name, and (I assume) triggers the system email for when users are mentioned in a topic…

Here’s how you can do that via HTML:

<user-mention data-id="user id number goes here"> text you want linked (probably their user name) goes here </user-mention>

 

My use case for this is automating replies with Zapier (there’s a “Create Reply” action that you can format with HTML). I want to @mention users in the automated reply, similar to how I might if I drafted the reply myself. 

There are potentially other use cases where you might 

This is great @DannyPancratz! It’s not something I’ve ever explored, even though I work at Zapier 😛 

@nicksimard thanks! I stumbled upon the html code by switching to the code view of a post I had already @ mentioned someone in. 

Previously I had been “faking it” with a hyperlink of a user name, but it didn’t provide the same UX (and I assume the @ mention system email).
