Hipchat doesn't seems to support html formatted messages

[andreasohlund]

In hipchat you can put html tags in the message to get better formatting

https://www.hipchat.com/docs/api/method/rooms/message

This works using plain restsharp like this:

https://github.com/Particular/IssueButler/blob/master/src/IssueButler/NotifyOnErrorsViaHipChat.cs#L43

but fails when passing the same string to the mmbot hipchat adapter.

Ideas?

It looks like the HipChat support uses the XMPP interface to send messages and not their REST API. This doesn't support HTML formatting. There is a standard for (X)HTML in XMPP messages, but HipChat doesn't support it yet.
