Ement.el - Matrix client for Emacs - LinuxLinks

=> ↺ Ement.el - Matrix client for Emacs - LinuxLinks

The default formatting style resembles IRC clients, with each message being prefixed by the username (which enables powerful Emacs features, like using Occur to show all messages from or mentioning a user). Alternative, built-in styles include an Element-like one with usernames above groups of messages, as well as a classic, no-margins IRC style. Messages may be optionally displayed with unique colors for each user (with customizable contrast), making it easier to follow conversations. Timestamp headers are optionally displayed where a certain amount of time passes between events, as well as where the date changes.
Ement.el is intended to be installed with Emacs’s package system.
Ement.el doesn’t support encrypted rooms natively, but it can be used transparently with the E2EE-aware reverse proxy daemon Pantalaimon
