Description

At the moment does Message#getContentStripped(); remove symbols like * if they format the text (For example *text* becomes text). But sadly is that also the case when the symbol is escaped, what also makes it look weird (\*text* becomes \text) Would it be possible, to change that in a way, that it won’t remove the symbols, if they are escaped.

Turns out markdown is even more complicated than I imagined. A simple state-machine won’t work because something like “`abc **x**” requires a backtracking algorithm.

I’m currently working on something that could be used here: MarkdownSanitizer. This is still a WIP class but its probably a better approach to have a dedicated state-machine for sanitizing markdown formats.
