how to send formatted messages to Telegram? about teleirc HOT 9 CLOSED

The answer is to use in tg.js tg.sendMessage(channel.tgChatId, msg, {parse_mode: "Markdown"}); or whatever format you want.

This would be neat as a parse as markdown config option, default can be on. Care to make a pull request? :)

It appears that malformed markdown (like unclosed _ tags) can lead to errors while trying to send a message to Telegram.

So I now recommend using escaping html entities and using HTML markdown instead.

Maybe we shouldn't support this as it can also be very confusing (and cause errors possibly as you say)

Alternatively there should be a command on the IRC side such as !md parsed-markdown-here which is required as a prefix for parsing the message as markdown

For markdown let's abandon it, yes.
For HTML it seems fine once you escape special symbols.

Think I'll close this then. Might do a markdown command at some point, as referenced from #29.

What about HTML?

We can have that as a separate command as well IMHO. I wouldn't necessarily want it to parse IRC messages as anything else than plain text by default.
