Or, if you're using PWRTelegram:

As a bot:

POST/GET to https://api.pwrtelegram.xyz/botTOKEN/madeline

Parameters:

• method - messages.sendMessage
• params - {"no_webpage": Bool, "broadcast": Bool, "silent": Bool, "background": Bool, "peer": InputPeer, "reply_to_msg_id": int, "message": "string", "reply_markup": ReplyMarkup, "entities": [MessageEntity], "parse_mode": "string"}

As a user:

Parameters:

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = messages.sendMessage({no_webpage=Bool, broadcast=Bool, silent=Bool, background=Bool, peer=InputPeer, reply_to_msg_id=int, message='string', reply_markup=ReplyMarkup, entities={MessageEntity}, parse_mode='string', })

## Usage of reply_markup

You can provide bot API reply_markup objects here.  



## Return value 

If the length of the provided message is bigger than 4096, the message will be split in chunks and the method will be called multiple times, with the same parameters (except for the message), and an array of [Updates](../types/Updates.md) will be returned instead.



## 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:

a newline bold works ok, internal tags are stripped bold italic italic inline fixed-width code

pre-formatted fixed-width code block

URL Mention by username Mention by user id

Pre tags can have a language attribute

You can also use normal markdown, note that to create mentions you must use the `mention:` syntax like in html:  

Mention by username Mention by user id

MadelineProto supports all html entities supported by [html_entity_decode](http://php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php).
