send bold & italic text on telegram bot with html

I've created a bot in telegram

I want to send bold and italic text with HTML page to bot

My HTML code is:

<html>
<head><title>Telegram</title></head>
<body>
    <form method="GET" action="https://api.telegram.org/bot(token)/sendMessage">
        <input type="hidden" name="chat_id" value="@testadminch">
        <input type="hidden" name="parse_mod" value="markdown">
        <textarea name="text"></textarea>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

If I send *bold* the output should be bold but it doesn't work

Solution

  • To send bold:

    1. Set the parse_mode to markdown and send *bold*
    2. Set the parse_mode to html and send <b>bold</b>

    To send italic:

    1. Set the parse_mode to markdown and send _italic_
    2. Set the parse_mode to html and send <i>italic</i>
