Display strikethrough text properly

[avahe-kellenberger]

What do you want

I'd like discord markup strikethrough text (e.g. ~~strikethrough~~) to be displayed as strikethrough

Why

Would be a nice QOL feature

Implementation hints

Many terminals support escape sequences for strikethrough

echo -e "\e[9mstrikethrough\e[0m"

I think it would be very easy to write this as a plugin, but should probably be in the client by default

[Bios-Marcel]

This should deffo not be a plugin

[avahe-kellenberger]

Should we attempt fixing upstream or try to find a cordless-centric fix?

upstream

There's support for this in tcell now. BUt it's gonna land in the next major release. We'll see what it brings.
