Since I lately see technically invalid twt subject hash tags for machine-parsable conversation grouping every now and then, I just taught the twtxt parser of my client to recover these (#1234567) subjects. Now they are grouped back into the proper conversations and do not form new root/single twts. Note, that the offending clients did not expand the hash tag in the subject to a proper (#<hash url>) form prior to publishing the twts. (Let's see whether my first markdown code will be expanded by twtd to a linked hash tag or not.)
@lyse yeah we had to do the same thing as well!

@prologic @xuu Cool, lextwt to the rescue! With retwt it looks like this: https://lyse.isobeef.org/retwt-broken-code-rendering.png My own twtxt parser handles subjects too freely and treats the first parentheses – no matter where in the twt the appear – as subjects which happens to be my example subject hash tag in markdown inline code. Since I hide the subject to save space, the code block is empty.
@lyse @prologic I think lex will do that too currently. Should be able to lock that down.
