2. Select a message in an existing room timeline

I investigated this issue:

• first in Element-Android, the quote is handled by using a dedicated sending mode UI (like Reply or Edit):

The selected message text is not displayed in the composer, it is added to the typed message during the sending process:

• About Element-iOS, quotes are not working with WYSIWYG, because the existing code doesn't support the RTE use case here, contrary to the edition (see here)

• I tested to fill the selected message body in the composer by setting a htmlContent. But this failed, I observed the following error Provided HTML index is out of expected bounds as soon as the provided string has a html tag (<blockquote> for example)

• one option would be to apply an action (.quote) to the composer by using this method, but before, an update of the rich-text-editor seems relevant
