Markdown support for DC-Android and DC-iOS

Feature Proposal

Expected behavior

DC-Android and DC-iOS support markdown.

Actual behavior

DC-Android and DC-iOS do not support markdown.

Explanation

Text formatting, along with the use of emojis, is a great way to make parts of a message or the message itself stand out. Therefore, many messengers support it. For example WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema and Signal. Unfortunately, the situation in DC is inconsistent. DC-Desktop supports markdown, but unfortunately the other versions do not yet.
I use markdown, among other things, to format the text for self-created link previews.

Link preview in DC-Desktop with Markdown:

Same link preview in DC-iOS without Markdown:

Oh, can’t wait…

ArcaneChat already supports Markdown.

6

Arcane Chat is better than Delta Chat?
It’s interesting that Arcane Chat has succeeded in many ways unlike Delta Chat, even though Arcane Chat is run by just one person.

7

In AC, features are often tested first. That’s why the app was formerly called DeltaLab.

8

Unfortunately, ArcaneChat is not cross-platform. No, I’d rather wait for it to be added to DC.

Please, I would very much appreciate having Markdown support in the Android version.
