Improve standard emoji support

[ErikMichelson]

Hey @aschrijver,

thanks for your feedback. As stated in the readme file, we're currently focusing on the development of HedgeDoc 2 and therefore don't add new features to HedgeDoc 1.x.

The emoji support in HedgeDoc 1.x is indeed very outdated. For the upcoming version 2.0 we're using a more up-to-date dataset (emojibase-data) and native Unicode characters (with the twemoji-font) instead of images for rendering. We've also added an emoji picker.

The example shortcodes you mentioned work in HedgeDoc 2, however the first one seems to be called :hug: instead of :hugs:.

Feel free to test it out on the current public 2.0 test instance at https://hedgedoc.dev. Be aware that this instance is updated and cleared every 24 hours.

I'm going to close this issue, but feel free to comment or opening new issues in case of other problems.

Thank you! This looks adorable 😍
