I saw somewhere that tags are clickable when in text. But mine is not:
I haven’t found any relevant setting in the “Tags” section in Settings page. Am I missing something?

If it’s not at the beginning of a line, `#` should give you a selector that will match both topics and tags. If it doesn’t work for some reason, or you are too impatient for them to populate you can use `#tag-name::tag`.
You probably have to type a few letters before a tag will match. Here I have to type `#pr` before #pr-welcome is suggested and not just categories.

Thanks, so is this the way for the sustem to distinguish between tags and categories when using a # sign?
Also, for some reason, for this particular tag there are no entries in a dropdown box. Adding ::tag suffix manually does not help either:
Any ideas why it does not work?

Maybe it only works for ascii tags?

Non english hashtags didnt worked for us either. Not sure that DS supports nonEnglish htags by design.
