Change purple_markup_html_to_xhtml() to convert <strong> tags to <span style="font-weight: bold;">, as the latter is what is used in XEP-0071 http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0071.html#examples We use this function in two other places outside of Jabber: libpurple/log.c and pidgin/plugins/gtkbuddynote.c. I don't think this change will negatively affect either of them, because the generated xhtml will only be viewed by Pidgin, and Pidgin understands the span tag. Thanks to Thomas Bohn for emailing meebo about this.

SILC Purple Plugin
==================

This is the Purple protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet
Live Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit,
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC
protocol implementation.

To include SILC into Purple, one needs to first compile and install
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell Purple's ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the SILC Toolkit cannot be found then the SILC protocol plugin will
not be compiled.
