Feature request - Easy text formatting for *BOLD* , _ITALIC_ , ```MONOSPACE``` , ~STRIKETHROUGH~ etc
Present text formatting option in signal-cli seems very problematic and difficult to code for .
Should we get easy to use text formatting options like available for whatsapp ? ( This also can ensure easy migration from whatsapp scripts to signal-cli ! )
Like -->
Italic
To italicize your message, place an underscore on both sides of the text: _text_
Bold
To bold your message, place an asterisk on both sides of the text: *text*
Strikethrough
To ~strikethrough~ your message, place a tilde on both sides of the text: ~text~
Monospace
To monospace your message, place three backticks on both sides of the text:
```text```
Bulleted list
To add a bulleted list to your message, place an asterisk or hyphen and a space before each word or sentence: * text * text Or - text - text
Numbered list
To add a numbered list to your message, place a number, period, and space before each line of text:
- text
- text
Quote
To add a quote to your message, place an angle bracket and space before the text: > text
Inline code
To add inline code to your message, place a backtick on both sides of the message: `text`
For the record, this has been (partially?) implemented for the signal-cli-rest-api downstream, see scra issue #382.
Yes it might be there but,
It would be pretty to have it like -->
signal-cli -u +4915151111111 send -m "Welcome to *SIGNAL*. This is a _fantastic_ piece of software and can be used as drop in replacement of ~WHATSAPP~. You can ```Enjoy``` playing with it ! " +4915152222222
Which results in actual message like ( ease of use ) -->
Welcome to SIGNAL. This is a fantastic piece of software and can be used as drop in replacement of ~WHATSAPP~. You can Enjoy playing with it !
This could be supported similarly with an additional option --text_mode=styled. By default the message text shouldn't be interpreted or modified in any way. The styled mode could also interpret mentions (@+NUMBER).
However bulleted list, numbered list and quote aren't supported by the Signal protocol as formatting options.

Oh is it already supported ? Did not find any documentation on that in man pages
