Today I found out some features of the Skype chat that must have sneaked in the last versions, since nobody has posted about it yet. I was having a hard time when pasting text into the chat which contained character that were easily misinterpreted as emoticons, e. g. (0) as well as using basic text formatting like bold, italic or strikethrough.
A * serounding text (*a*) bolds.
A _ serounding text (_a_) italics.
A ~ serounding text (~a~)strikethroughs.
If you start a message with "@@ " (two ats with a space), every formatting function in your message will be ignored except emoticons.
If you start a message with "!! " (two exclamations with a space), every formatting function in your message will be ignored and font will be switched to monospaced.
So here is my findings:
A * serounding text (*a*) bolds.
A _ serounding text (_a_) italics.
A ~ serounding text (~a~)
If you start a message with "@@ " (two ats with a space), every formatting function in your message will be ignored except emoticons.
If you start a message with "!! " (two exclamations with a space), every formatting function in your message will be ignored and font will be switched to monospaced.
So here is my findings:
| Style | Example |
|---|---|
| bold | This is *bold* text |
| italic | And this _italic_ |
And ~strikethrough~ | |
no text formatting full | And full message @@ *no text formatting* but emoticons :D |
plain text full | And full message !! no text formatting, no emoticons, monospaced |
plain text inline | And inline {code}no text formatting, no emoticons, monospaced{code} |
