XEP-0277: new preview/mbPreview method: This method does more or less the same thing as sending, but without actually sending the item, and parse the generated element just after. This way, the triggers are run, and a preview of the item can be made for the resulting microblog data.

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and data about the
avatar.

When available, cached values are returned by defaut. If you want to ignore the cache, use
the ``--no-cache`` option (of course this can result in more network requests).

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ li identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. So far, you can only
change the nickname of an entity using ``-n, --nick`` or or more times

example
-------

Set 2 nicknames for default profile::

  $ li identity set -n toto -n titi
