Markdown support.

[SkyzohKey]

Ricin should provide a way to use (basic) Markdown to format messages. This is not really hard to do but the real issue is for client compatibility. I guess this shouldn't be a major issue since markdown was reflexed to be readable, even in plaintext.

(Pseudo-) Markdown "balises" we could provide:

• [x] **bold** text : Permit to bold a message's part.
• [x] _italic_ text : Permit to italicize a message's part.
• [x] ~~striked~~ text : Permit to strike a message's part.
• [x] --underlined-- text : Permit to underline a message's part.

Ricin (with Markdown lite support):

µTox (with no Markdown support):

Also, see the qTox issue about that: https://github.com/tux3/qTox/issues/2497 It was an issue opened on Tox-STS repo: https://github.com/Tox-Archive/Tox-STS/issues/74 And @subliun opened a new issue: https://github.com/Tox/Tox-Client-Standard/issues/19

Ricin now supports bolded, italicized, underlined and striked messages. See the wip/chatform@2e7d6a0 commit for more infos.

It should also support naming [links](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink).

Hmm, I guess this is a bad idea cuz it would permit people to "spoof" links. What if someone send you a link like: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ](http://iplogger.com/id) ?

hovering over the named link should give the link itself

@gmscs Hmm, maybe i should add this so.
