Matrix/Riot : Emoji code and Markdown formatting are not interpreted ?

[Auroch]

Hello, I have just configured the plugin and I notice that the emoji codes already proposed in the messages (or others) are not interpreted in the chat rooms.

I have already noticed that in the Riot client, you have to choose the emoji from a list while typing your text, if you leave the code :dog:, it is not interpreted as 🐶, so it may be a problem of the same order, or even a design difficulty in Matrix. But since there may be something to do on the plugin side, I prefer to report it.

On the other side, the MarkDown code is correctly interpreted in the Riot client, once the message is sent, bold, italics, etc. , it 'll appear correctly. But not if we use them in Octoslack... an idea of what could cause this?

Here, no rush, just the desire to bring up a detail to make this fantastic plugin even more attractive: -)

@Auroch OT: how did you specify matrix room? !id:domain or #id:domain? thanks

I am also experiencing this issue and available to test.

The issue is that messages are sent as rendered HTML (https://github.com/fraschetti/Octoslack/blob/master/octoprint_Octoslack/__init__.py#L4349). Thus, any markdown/emoji must be processed on the Octoslack side if you want them to display properly. Sending the html symbol (e.g. ➖) works just fine.

Edit: Using the emoji directly in the message also works. (i.e. 😕)
