Add support for quotes

[TristanWiley]

I want to get this in for v1.0

[raghunandankavi2010]

I would like to discuss on this further. Suggestion welcome. Do we need custom spans and draw the " " at the start and end?

Not necessarily with the quotation marks. On the web chat, once you add a > It'll draw a vertical line at the beginning of the message, and add some padding to the text. We could try to do something similar on the app.

Example:

[raghunandankavi2010]

This can be done with QuoteSpan https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/QuoteSpan . So if message starts with > it's quoted message?

[TimCastelijns]

Yes. QuoteSpan looks good, go for it. Indeed a quoted message has the format of > message

[raghunandankavi2010]

Another case where message does not start with > message

QuoteSpan works for other cases.

[TimCastelijns]

That's not a quote, that's a permalink
