Message
Message component

Protect content

Text formatting
On Telegram
On Telegram you can format text using HTML:
<b>This sentence should be in bold</b> <i>This sentence should be in italics</i> <code>This text should be displayed as code</code> <s>This text should be strikethrough</s> <u>This text should be underlined</u> <pre language="javascript"> And this text should support multi-line code formatting
</pre>
<tg-spoiler>This text will be hidden until you click on it</tg-spoiler>
<blockquote>This text should look like a quote</blockquote>
<pre><code class="language-python">message = "This text should be as a formatted fixed-width code block written in the programming language you specified. In the example, we use Python" print(message)</code></pre>
A hyperlink (a link in the text) can be created as follows:
<a href="link">text</a>
Where link is the link.
If a link is written to a variable, it can be displayed in double curly braces in the hyperlink:
<a href="{{link}}">text</a>

*This sentence should be in bold* _This sentence should be in italics_ ~This text should be strikethrough~ ```This text should be formatted as code, in a monospaced font```
On Viber
*This sentence should be in bold* _This sentence should be in italics_ ~This text should be strikethrough~ ```This text should be formatted as code, in a monospaced font```

Facebook accepts text of any length, but cuts it after 1999 characters (including the ellipsis at the end).
WhatsApp (Pact) accepts at least 14 000 characters in Cyrillic and Latin letters.
