Italic handling #5

Closed Eeems closed 9 years ago

Eeems commented 9 years ago

It seems that italics don't always work.

Colloquy handles \x16 as italics and \x1D does nothing IRCCloud handles \x16 and \x1D as italics Chatzilla doesn't handle \x16 as anything

From what I can understand via google-fu \x1D is suppose to be italics from how mIRC and most IRC clients implemented, but a few have chosen to implement it by using \x16.

I don't know which one is the most supported one. Should we change \x16 with \x1D? I tried to find some RFC about this, apparently this is not even in RFC.

Eeems commented 9 years ago

I believe that \x1D is more supported and less likely to cause problems with inverting then \x16. At worse it just won't italicize on someone's client instead. It would have been nice if these things actually had an RFC, but unfortunately it looks like nobody wants to properly standardise them.

I tested both \x16 and \x1D on ChatZilla and HexChat and could not make it work on both. If a line contains any of the chars above, it just doesn't show that line on both clients. I don't know what's wrong with my computer. This is also true with bold, color codes. I'm confused :confused:

Eeems commented 9 years ago

Which version of ChatiZilla are you running?

dogancelik commented 9 years ago

ChatZilla: 0.9.91.1 HexChat: 2.10.2

Edit: This might be really a silly mistake on my end, I have yet to figure. Edit 2: Seems like it fixed itself.

According to http://en.wikichip.org/wiki/irc/colors \x16 is reversing the current colors and \x1D is italics
