Text Formatting

Better Messages supports rich text formatting in messages through a visual toolbar.

How it works​

A formatting toolbar appears above the message input area, providing easy access to common formatting options. Users can apply formatting by selecting text and clicking a toolbar button, or by using the toolbar before typing. This makes messages more expressive and easier to read without requiring users to know any special syntax.

Available formatting​

  • Bold — Emphasize important text
  • Italic — Add emphasis or indicate titles
  • Underline — Underline text for emphasis
  • Strikethrough — Show removed or outdated text
  • Links — Insert clickable hyperlinks
  • Code — Format inline code or code blocks

Key capabilities​

  • Visual formatting toolbar above the message input
  • Select text and click to apply formatting
  • Works alongside Markdown support for users who prefer typing syntax
  • Formatted messages render consistently for all recipients
  • Available in all conversation types

How to enable​

Text formatting is enabled by default. No additional configuration is required.
