Mentions

Nerimity encodes mentions as raw tokens in message content:

Token	Meaning
[@:userId]	Mention of a specific user
[@:e]	@everyone
[@:s]	@someone (random online member)

Parsed mentions

Message.Mentions is a []Mention, parsed in order of appearance:

type Mention struct {
	Type   MentionType // MentionTypeUser, MentionTypeEveryone, or MentionTypeSomeone
	UserID string      // set only when Type == MentionTypeUser
	Raw    string       // the exact token, e.g. "[@:8371002...]"
}

Matching the JS SDK, mentions are not resolved to display names here; you get the raw token and, for user mentions, the ID. If you need the mentioning user's User object, look it up yourself:

for _, mention := range m.Mentions {
	if mention.Type != nerimity.MentionTypeUser {
		continue
	}
	if user := client.GetUser(mention.UserID); user != nil {
		fmt.Println("mentioned:", user.Username)
	}
}

Mentioning someone in a message you send

Build the token yourself, or use the Mention() helper on User / ServerMember / Channel:

channel.Send(ctx, "Hey "+user.Mention()+", check this out")
// equivalent to: channel.Send(ctx, "Hey [@:"+user.ID+"], check this out")

Stripping mentions

If your bot wants to process a message's plain text without mention markup:

plain := nerimity.StripMentions(m.Content)

This removes every [@:...] token and collapses the whitespace left behind.
