Text Formatting

Sun Dec 17 15:24:53 EST 2017

Hi Naveen,

Make sure you're advertising support for XHTML using
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0071.html#discovery

Also, you might want to double-check that your Java client isn't encoding
the XHTML into its entities, there might be a different method you need to
use to send a message with formatting than the one you currently use.  You
can test this in Pidgin by looking in Help->Debug Window when you receive a
message, or enabling the XMPP Console Log plugin, and looking in
Tools->Console Log.

Cheers,
Eion
