Node-telegram-bot-api: Text styling

[mbrammer]

Feature Request

I have:

• searched for such a feature request (https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api/labels/enhancement) and found none

Introduction

In Telegram you can style text like this **bold text** or __italic text__.
The node-telegram-bot-api seems not to support this.
On the other hand, Emojis are working.

Use parse_mode: 'Markdown', 👍

As it mention in telegram documentation, you just need to add parse_mode to options. As in the example below:

bot.onText(/\/start/, function onStart(msg) {
  const opts = {
    reply_markup:{
      keyboard: [
        ['FAQ'],
        ['Buy']
      ]
    },
    parse_mode: 'Markdown'
  };
  bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, "*You are welcome!*\nWe would like to introduce you our new [product](https://xxx.yyy/zzz)", opts);
});
