For contacts who advertise Entity Caps, check for XHTML-IM support. Refs #4650. For backward-compatibility (and what I, as someone who knows that Jabber supports rich-text, would expect), continue sending it if the contact is offline (i.e. not on the roster).

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
