## Usage of parse_mode:
Set parse_mode to html to enable HTML parsing of the message.
Set parse_mode to Markdown to enable markown AND html parsing of the message.
The following tags are currently supported:
```
< br > a newline
2017-02-16 20:04:57 +01:00
< b > < i > bold works ok, internal tags are stripped< / i > < / b >
2017-02-13 04:33:06 +01:00
< strong > bold< / strong >
< em > italic< / em >
< i > italic< / i >
< code > inline fixed-width code< / code >
< pre > pre-formatted fixed-width code block< / pre >
< a href = "https://github.com" > URL< / a >
< a href = "mention:@danogentili" > Mention by username< / a >
< a href = "mention:186785362" > Mention by user id< / a >
< pre language = "json" > Pre tags can have a language attribute< / pre >
```
You can also use normal markdown, note that to create mentions you must use the `mention:` syntax like in html:
```
[Mention by username ](mention:@danogentili )
[Mention by user id ](mention:186785362 )
```
MadelineProto supports all html entities supported by [html_entity_decode ](http://php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php ).
