Hello,
Some of my messages contain text with is preceded by a slash. The telegram-bot parses that into a blue, clickable command :
Any idea what the best way is to escape this?
If it is html text, perhaps you could try: /
Thanks for your reply, but I'n using parsing mode MarkdownV2, not HTML
Then try to escape it with a backslash, eg. \/
.replace(///g, "\/") doesn't seem to do the trick, it still gets displayed unchanged.
Any further suggestions?
Having escaped it with backslash did the backslash appear as a character? If not did you check that the backslash was really there in the sent message?
Yes, use html instead ?
Dont think it is possible see questions around telegram + markdown + escaping (google)
Colin I don't really get what you mean. Before and after escaping doesn't make any difference. My input message contains a /slash and my output message still gets treated as a command, which it isn't. It's just like I would send a message containing "Do you like this feature yes/no" and the /no becomes clickable as if it is a command.
The only "but" in this case is that my message contains the text "berm-/ruigte" so maybe the - prior to the slash causes the issue. As workaround I could replace "-/" by "/" which probably should solve this particular case, but overall I was wondering if this command feature could be disabled somehow... If not I should probably have to deal with it...
Did you check that, having done the replace, the text you were sending was berm-\/ruigte?
[Edit] Might also be worth trying berm\-/ruigte
For now, this solves the issue for me; replace(/-//g, "/")
For those that come hereafter it might be useful if you said whether escaping the - did anything.
That character was already escaped, otherwise my payload would not be accepted by the Telegram-bot : replace(/-/g, "\-")
But that doesn't solve anything, since that line was already present before I posted my issue.
