Allow styling text

It has bold & italic text, which Phanpy renders nicely. Apparently this is done with a limited subset of HTML tags. A few Fedi packages, e.g. the Glitch fork and Akkoma, allow authors to style posts (usually with markdown I think). I think if Phanpy started offering the opportunity to style text, this would really be attractive to a lot of people.
Yeah, at least adding the option to set the styling. For instance akkoma has Markdown, Html, BBCode, MFM
As OP stated, bold and italic are supported. In addition, Phanpy also supports blockquotes, bulleted, and numbered lists. See: https://weaknotes.com/@david/statuses/01J33BWMSHSNAF6J0MXWKHXTG2.
To expand on this. You can use markdown in Phanpy. Use *test* for italics, **bold** for bold, > to start your blockquote, and - / 1. for bulleted and numbered lists. Your backend server, though, needs to support rendering.
But in phanpy frontend I have no field to choose if I am posting in plain text or markdown
@paulo-roger I don't understand. The setting for preferred posting is set at server level. At least, that's what happens on GoToSocial.
In akkoma default frontend we can set the global preferred styling, but you can change it in the post field for a particular post if you like.
In phanpy though none of the methods are presented (unless I am missing where I can set it).
