Description Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2010-02-18 04:43:31 UTC

The MSN client allow users to handwrite text or drawing which are then displayed as still images in the conversation. I think Papyon has already support for it but we need a way in the spec to represent it.

See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26481 which this one blocks.

Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-02-18 04:45:12 UTC

Maybe this should be implemented using HTML text and embed images? (bug #15449)

Comment 2 Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2010-02-18 11:17:42 UTC

Does the HTML spec covert the way to embed custom image and how to transfer them from the CM?

Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2010-03-02 04:20:33 UTC

You don't actually need the HTML spec; if you receive the handwriting in an image, and put that image in a Message_Part that is not marked as an alternative for another part, then UIs are meant to show it. (I don't know of any UI that actually does this yet; MSN Handwriting will probably be the reason to do so, in practice.)

See the "lolcat" example here:

<http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Messages.html#org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Messages.Message_Part>

and in particular, search for the text "A client that does not understand HTML".
