When replying to someone's text in the text box their id is shown not their name also doesn't show reply text in the box. so it's difficult to understand someone replying to text to someone.

Thanks

The reason for this is that currently Syphon does not support rich replies (where the client knows that the message is a reply) or HTML (used by the sending client to style the reply as a fallback for rich replies). That's why it relies on unstyled text which does sometimes look confusing. This isn't a bug though, or a design choice, just something yet to be implemented.

Still present in version v0.2.8

How do you make it rich replies? Can you give some screenshot?

A Matrix spec change regarding replies is being actively worked on (expect merging in a few weeks), so I guess until it's ready, this feature won't get much attention. Also, implementing the current reply fallback spec could introduce some security vulnerabilities, so it's better to wait for the fixed version.
