Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the emoji processor in the jekyll spaceship plugin. The issue is that spaces before and after emoji are removed during HTML generation. Look at how emoji are converted from markdown to HTML, possibly in the emoji related code. Check if there is a regex or string manipulation that strips spaces around emoji tags.
