How to highlight text in Telegram?

To format text when sending it to Telegram, you should use a system of special tags:

• *bold*

• _italic_ (single underscore)

• __underlined__ (double underline)

• ~strikethrough~

• || text hidden under spoiler||

• [link text](https://www.example.com/)

Example of sending from the service:

Same message in Telegram:

• Tags can be nested within each other:

In Telegram:

• There should always be an opening and closing tag to apply text formating.
• The tag must not be separated by a space from the text being marked up:

• Tag characters that are surrounded by text will not be used in formatting:

• With nested tags, the "__" (underscore) tag must come before the "_" (italic) tag

  In the first message, the underscore tag comes first, followed by the italic tag.
