Text formatting support #980

Open moezbhatti opened 6 years ago

moezbhatti commented 6 years ago

Support making text bold or italicized, without ruining the formatting of the message

amyers3 commented 6 years ago

What's the purpose in this? SMS doesn't support bolding, italicizing, etc.?

moezbhatti commented 6 years ago

It would work similar to other messaging apps where the text is formatted by inserting symbols around the words you want to format. For example **bold** -> bold

amyers3 commented 6 years ago

My point is SMS doesn't support formatting, so why adid it?

Because it's possible to add, and it's something that a lot of people have requested

If this was to be added, I'd make it optional and not default, since it's not really an SMS/MMS thing.

I would also really like this feature. QKSMS used to do this years ago when I first tried it, pretty sure it was by accident. I wouldn't mind it being optional, off by default.
