System Information (Required)

• SDK Platform: C#
• SDK Version: 3.5.5.0
• Development Environment: Azure App Service

Issue Description

When using the sintax Microsoft Web Slacks only render http://microsoft.com as a link, ignoring "Microsoft Web" text. Skypes or Bot Emulator renders the link correctly, using the passed text.

Using the slack syntax (https://api.slack.com/docs/message-formatting#linking_to_urls) works correctly: the link is rendered as expected.

I have asked it here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44177794/microsoft-botbuilder-markdown-named-links-rendered-as-urls-in-slack .

Example Code

Just answers a message with something like "Microsoft Web" in Slack.

Expected Behavior

I expect to see the link as "Microsoft Web", like in Skype or emulator.

Actual Results

Link is rendered with the url.

@arsuceno
Can you please upgrade to the latest Bot Framework 3.8.1 and see if your problem persists?

@arsuceno Slack does not, and has no plans to support markdown. This issue is on the slack channel end. More info here :
