06/02/2023, 5:49 PMI just signed up with a botpress cloud free account and integrated with telegram.
My question is how to style the text responses..
Tried {{workflow.var{}} and this works in the web but in telegram it shows as * varresult *
How can I style the text for telegram usage. Thanks in advance

06/05/2023, 10:08 AMHi @chilly-morning-19152, Telegram supports rich content like cards, carousels, and images. You can learn more at https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/overview/
You can also style text with basic markdown: ** two asterisks for bold test, _ underscores for italiac, * or - for unordered lists, and 1. for ordered lists.

06/05/2023, 12:15 PMI tried the markdown @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 but all I see is the asterisks but the content is just plain text. see https://imgur.com/a/rnyD2dM and https://imgur.com/a/9pLj0CI

06/05/2023, 12:18 PMMaybe try bold with one asterisk or ittalics? Looking at this doc, it says WhatsApp does bold that way https://faq.whatsapp.com/539178204879377

06/05/2023, 12:23 PMThe telegram API says that double asterisks should work https://core.telegram.org/api/entities

06/09/2023, 10:27 AMHey @chilly-morning-19152, it looks like there's something up with Telegram text styling. I'll file an internal bug report about it, but there's no strict timeline about when it will be fixed.

06/10/2023, 4:54 PMI tried SendPulse just out of curiosity and it worked as expected. There's definetely an issue on the botPress side. Thanks for the update @acceptable-kangaroo-64719
