Bold text in messages #304

Skype normally sends roleplay actions (like * waves ) as bold text which i cant see on Pidgin. My question is if it would be possible to maybe add an option to change the bold text back in its original form (with the ).

Is there really nothing that can be done about this problem? I wonder why no-one did mention it before because its "really" annoying if you cant see any kind of difference in the text.

Skype Web displays those as:

Bold: <b raw_pre="*" raw_post="*">Your Text here</b>
Italic: <i raw_pre="_" raw_post="_">Your Text here</i>
Strike Through: <s raw_pre="~" raw_post="~">Your Text here</s>

I guess that's the reason we don't see them in pidgin

Is this still a problem?

TomTheDragon commented 7 years ago

Yes this is still a big problem, since bold text can not be seen, which cause a lot of trouble. Specially with chat role players.
