Notes for implementing work-in-progress version

This is a work-in-progress specification.

Software implementing this work-in-progress specification MUST NOT use the unprefixed +reply-context tag name. Instead, implementations SHOULD use the +draft/reply-context tag name to be interoperable with other software implementing a compatible work-in-progress version.

The final version of the specification will use an unprefixed tag name.

Introduction

The +reply tag marks a message as a reply to a previous message, however there is no agreed upon way to display those in clients. This specification explicitly states how clients should display these replies.

Implementation

When sending a message with a +reply client tag, clients SHOULD send a +draft/reply-context tag. This tag MUST have one of these values:

  • "thread": This value tells the client not to show the reply in the main channel, but add it to a thread.
  • "channel": The client shows the reply in the main channel.
  • "thread,channel": The client adds the reply to the thread, but also shows the reply in the main channel.
