Now, that depends on what is actually explained. If for example there's some kind of configuration option you talk about it might be useful to colourise it each time it's mentioned. Another example might be comparing the functionality of two different programmes, in which you might want to colourise depending on what programme you refer to. One can't really make a general statement when colour is useful in this context, as it simply depends on what is talked about. And in any case, this is a supplemental feature as one can perfectly explain without colour. > On a more specific note: what do you do in most messengers that don't > let you use formatting? I use IRC for that. Pretty much any IRC client allows mIRC colour codes. Your question was not restricted to what XMPP clients can do today.
