Feature Request

Currently, user messages in the chat interface are displayed as plain text. It would be great to add markdown rendering support for user messages to match the markdown rendering already available in Hikari's responses.

Benefits

  • Users can format their messages with code blocks, bold, italic, lists, etc.
  • Better visual consistency between user and assistant messages
  • Improved readability for technical discussions with code snippets

Implementation Ideas

  • Use the same markdown renderer that's already being used for Hikari's responses
  • Apply consistent styling between user and assistant messages
  • Ensure proper sanitization for security

Example Use Cases

  • Sharing code snippets with proper syntax highlighting
  • Creating organized lists or bullet points in questions
  • Emphasizing important parts of messages with bold or italic text
