Message

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>

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*
