In the end, although #6 had two parts, we only implemented the second one and not this one.

mentioning would just be quoting without the reference message, right? Couldn't we just extend the quote regex and update on the GUI?

Yes, probably that could be the solution

[ThePerkinrex]

I will look into it

Another option would be to add another regex (@([^ ]+) for example), check if the matched string is in the user_colors object, and if it is replace the whole thing with a formatted version of the string:

<b style="color: #color">regex[1]</b>

(This isn't the exact code we should use as this is XSS vulnerable and can be VERY optimized, but the idea should be more or less similar)

EDIT: A better version using JQuery could be this:

let regex = message.match(/@([^ ]+)/) [1]
$('<b>').css('color', user_colors[regex].color).text(regex)

Most of the work has been done in 3a28db4, but there are still some things left to be done.
