### Steps
1. Open the chat application and log in as User A.
2. In the message input field, type the text `Bold`, select it, and apply the **Bold** formatting.
3. Type the text `Italic`, select it, and apply the *Italic* formatting.
4. Type the text `Underline`, select it, and apply the <u>Underline</u> formatting.
5. Send the composed message.
## Expected Result
- The sent message appears in User A’s chat window with the word **Bold** rendered in bold, *Italic* rendered in italics, and <u>Underline</u> underlined.
- User B sees the same message with identical rich‑text styling (bold, italic, underline) preserved.
- No loss of formatting occurs; the text remains editable with formatting retained if edited within the allowed time frame.
