# WebXDC
This app has some extended support for WebXDC apps:
- `window.webxdc.arcanechat` a string with the ArcaneChat version and can be used by app developers
to detect when they can use the ArcaneChat-specific features.
- `sendToChat()`: extra property `subject` can be set to a text string to set message/email's subject.
- `sendToChat()`: extra property `html` can be set to a string of html markup to set the HTML part of the email/message.
- `sendToChat()`: the file object parameter also accepts a `type` field that can be one of:
* `"sticker"`
* `"image"`
* `"audio"`
* `"video"`
* `"file"` (default if `type` field is not present)
- Inside apps, clicking external links is supported, ex. to open in browser, so you can include links to your website or donation pages.
- `manifest.toml` field: `orientation`, if you set it to `"landscape"` your app will be launched in landscape mode.
# Credits
This app is based on the [official Delta Chat client](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android) with several improvements.
This app uses a [modified](https://github.com/ArcaneChat/core) version of the [Chatmail Core Library](https://github.com/chatmail/core).
