The new Telegram chatbot formatting capabilities announced by Pavel Durov represent a significant shift in how developers build automated services. With the release of Desktop 6.9, bot developers can now send messages with structured, document-grade formatting for the first time in the platform’s history. This update allows bots to deliver highly structured content directly within the chat interface, improving user interaction across apps<\/a> and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Document-Grade Telegram Chatbot Formatting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Until this update, bots on the platform were limited to basic bold, italic, or code block styles. The new rich-text rendering layer expands these options into a complete publishing toolkit. Bots can now generate messages containing section headings, horizontal dividers, ordered and unordered lists, collapsible detail sections, blockquotes, and embedded media with captions. According to the official Telegram Bot Features<\/a> documentation, these updates allow for highly structured layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Telegram chatbot formatting capabilities also include tables with alignment, borders, striped styling, and mathematical formulas. Message length limits have been increased to 32,768 characters, allowing bots to send detailed reports without splitting messages. This is particularly useful for developers working with artificial intelligence<\/a> models that generate long-form text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the MessageEntity System Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The update utilizes the MessageEntity JSON system to handle this advanced styling. Instead of relying on standard Markdown parsing, the formatting pipeline encodes styles as a JSON array attached to each message. Each entry specifies a character offset, a length, and a formatting type. This technical approach ensures backward compatibility, meaning older clients will display the text without breaking the user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now support rich formatting for all chatbots.

Tables, nested lists, inline media, formulas, headers and more \u2014 right in Telegram messages.
