RESTMessageTextContainer
Renders message text content inside MessageContent. It applies markdown rules, translation, and emoji-only styling.
Best Practices
- Keep markdown customizations small and deterministic.
- Use
messageTextNumberOfLinesfor overlay truncation behavior. - Prefer
MessageTextoverride only when you need full text rendering control. - Keep text press handlers lightweight.
- Use theme overrides for styling before replacing rendering logic.
