Description

This relies on chatroom being mostly implemented. This will likely need to be split into subissues.

Messages are more than text: we should have some basic formatting capabilities, probably using a Markdown syntax.

  • Bold, italic, underline?
  • pinging people with '@'
  • Formatting the person's name to make it clearly distinct from the message

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing message rendering pipeline. Choose or implement a Markdown parser (e.g., marked, markdown it) to support bold, italic, underline, and @mentions. Integrate the formatting into the chat UI. Consider if backend changes are needed for storing formatted content.
