I've looked into this and I think that with the way the current message system is written, it won't be possible to do any markdown other than links, which is already implemented. I couldn't seem to find any way of bolding text.
I'm pretty sure that asserting that it's "not possible" is incorrect. The most obvious way I can think of would involve framework's MarkdownContainer
, but care has to be taken to make sure that the current handling of beatmap/profile links in chat messages is preserved, so it's not an instant replacement.
This requires osu-web support first. I am 99.9% sure an issue already exists there covering this.
There was a passing mention in the now-closed to-do list issue (#988). Can't find anything more specific than that.
In discussion with osu-web team this sounds like it could be pretty easy to implement, but the web-side implementation should come first. We'll see when that happens.
Describe the new feature: Markdown support, in some form or another, is pretty common in a lot of text-based chat systems; such as Messenger, Discord, Telegram, etc. While this is relative "eye-candy", the ability to add emphasis to words in chat; or slight formatting changes to text would be useful.
Proposal designs of the feature: A "simple" parsing/rendering engine for basic/common Markdown syntax; such as bold, italic &
monospace
fonts. Syntax would likely need to be adjusted to allow for the formatting characters to need to be used in common conversation; so GFM may not be suitable variant.Telegram, for example, uses the following syntax:
