How to send a message with collapsed long quote with telegram api?

Example params:

{
    "chat_id": 123
    "text": "<blockquoute>Short text</blockquoute>\n\n<blockquoute>..Long text..</blockquoute>",
    "parse_mode": "HTML"
}

Can I collapse only 2nd (long) quote and don't change 1st (short)?

Solution

  • You can append expandable to the tag to make it expandable.

    <blockquote expandable>...</blockquote>

    Keep in mind there must be a few lines, otherwise there is nothing to expend.

    As an example, the following text

    <blockquote>A Short Quote</blockquote><blockquote expandable>Expandable block quotation started%0AThis is a very long text%0Athat you can expend by clicking the arrow%0AAnd here is even more text</blockquote>
