Hi,

Im a bit confused about begin/end

The XEP says

> If a mention element of type urn:xmpp:mentions:0 or its subtypes contains both begin and end attributes, the receiving entity MAY use this as a hint that the specified range of the content is being addressed to the specified occupant.

I dont think this is necessary, as its usual that the content that follows the mention is addressed to the mentioned user.

What was missing was that we can special format the nickname or the @admin @all etc in the GUI when we receive a message, without hardcoding some regex or scanning for nicknames.

Regards
Philipp
