Messages are at the heart of a messaging platform.
|
|
In Telethon, you will be using the :class:`~types.Message` class to interact with them.

Formatting messages
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The library supports 3 formatting modes: no formatting, CommonMark, HTML.
|
|
|
|
Telegram does not natively support markdown or HTML.
|
|
Clients such as Telethon parse the text into a list of formatting :tl:`MessageEntity` at different offsets.
|
|
|
|
Note that `CommonMark's markdown <https://commonmark.org/>`_ is not fully compatible with :term:`HTTP Bot API`'s
|
|
`MarkdownV2 style <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#markdownv2-style>`_, and does not support spoilers::
|
|
|
|
*italic* and _italic_
|
|
**bold** and __bold__
|
|
# headings are underlined
|
|
~~strikethrough~~
|
|
[inline URL](https://www.example.com/)
|
|
[inline mention](tg://user?id=ab1234cd6789)
|
|
custom emoji image with 
|
|
`inline code`
|
|
```python
|
|
multiline pre-formatted
|
|
block with optional language
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
HTML is also not fully compatible with :term:`HTTP Bot API`'s
|
|
`MarkdownV2 style <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#markdownv2-style>`_,
|
|
and instead favours more standard `HTML elements <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element>`_:
|
|
|
|
* ``strong`` and ``b`` for **bold**.
|
|
* ``em`` and ``i`` for *italics*.
|
|
* ``u`` for :underline:`underlined text`.
|
|
* ``del`` and ``s`` for :strikethrough:`strikethrough`.
|
|
* ``blockquote`` for quotes.
|
|
* ``details`` for :spoiler:`hidden text` (spoiler).
|
|
* ``code`` for ``inline code``
|
|
* ``pre`` for multiple lines of code.
|
|
* ``a`` for links.
|
|
* ``img`` for inline images (only custom emoji).
|
|
|
|
Both markdown and HTML recognise the following special URLs using the ``tg:`` protocol:
|
|
|
|
* ``tg://user?id=ab1234cd6789`` for inline mentions.
|
|
To make sure the mention works, use :attr:`types.PackedChat.hex`.
|
|
You can also use :attr:`types.User.id`, but the mention will fail if the user is not in cache.
|
|
* ``tg://emoji?id=1234567890`` for custom emoji.
|
|
You must use the document identifier as the value.
|
|
The alt-text of the image **must** be a emoji such as 👍.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To obtain a message's text formatted, use :attr:`types.Message.text_markdown` or :attr:`types.Message.text_html`.
|
|
|
|
To send a message with formatted text, use the ``markdown`` or ``html`` parameters in :meth:`Client.send_message`.
|
|
|
|
When sending files, the format is appended to the name of the ``caption`` parameter, either ``caption_markdown`` or ``caption_html``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Message identifiers
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This is an in-depth explanation for how the :attr:`types.Message.id` works.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You can safely skip this section if you're not interested.
|
|
|
|
Every account, whether it's an user account or bot account, has its own message counter.
|
|
This counter starts at 1, and is incremented by 1 every time a new message is received.
|
|
In private conversations or small groups, each account will receive a copy each message.
|
|
The message identifier will be based on the message counter of the receiving account.
|
|
|
|
In megagroups and broadcast channels, the message counter instead belongs to the channel itself.
|
|
It also starts at 1 and is incremented by 1 for every message sent to the group or channel.
|
|
This means every account will see the same message identifier for a given mesasge in a group or channel.
|
|
|
|
This design has the following implications:
|
|
|
|
* The message identifier alone is enough to uniquely identify a message only if it's not from a megagroup or channel.
|
|
This is why :class:`events.MessageDeleted` does not need to (and doesn't always) include chat information.
|
|
* Messages cannot be deleted for one-side only in megagroups or channels.
|
|
Because every account shares the same identifier for the message, it cannot be deleted only for some.
|
|
* Links to messages only work for everyone inside megagroups or channels.
|
|
In private conversations and small groups, each account will have their own counter, and the identifiers won't match.
|
|
|
|
Let's look at a concrete example.
|
|
|
|
* You are logged in as User-A.
|
|
* Both User-B and User-C are your mutual contacts.
|
|
* You have share a small group called Group-S with User-B.
|
|
* You also share a megagroup called Group-M with User-C.
|
|

.. graphviz::
|
|
:caption: Demo scenario
|
|
|
|
digraph scenario {
|
|
"User A" [shape=trapezium];
|
|
"User B" [shape=box];
|
|
"User C" [shape=box];
|
|
|
|
"User A" -> "User B";
|
|
"User A" -> "User C";
|
|
|
|
"Group-S" -> "User A";
|
|
"Group-S" -> "User B";
|
|
|
|
"Group-M" -> "User A";
|
|
"Group-M" -> "User C";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Every account and channel has just been created.
|
|
This means everyone has a message counter of one.
|
|
|
|
First, User-A will sent a welcome message to both User-B and User-C::
|
|
|
|
User-A → User-B: Hey, welcome!
|
|
User-A → User-C: ¡Bienvenido!
|
|
|
|
* For User-A, "Hey, welcome!" will have the message identifier 1. The message with "¡Bienvenido!" will have an ID of 2.
|
|
* For User-B, "Hey, welcome" will have ID 1.
|
|
* For User-B, "¡Bienvenido!" will have ID 1.
|
|
|
|
.. csv-table:: Message identifiers
|
|
:header: "Message", "User-A", "User-B", "User-C", "Group-S", "Group-M"
|
|
|
|
"Hey, welcome!", 1, 1, "", "", ""
|
|
"¡Bienvenido!", 2, "", 1, "", ""
|
|
|
|
Next, User-B and User-C will respond to User-A::
|
|
|
|
User-B → User-A: Thanks!
|
|
User-C → User-A: Gracias :)
|
|
|
|
.. csv-table:: Message identifiers
|
|
:header: "Message", "User-A", "User-B", "User-C", "Group-S", "Group-M"
|
|
|
|
"Hey, welcome!", 1, 1, "", "", ""
|
|
"¡Bienvenido!", 2, "", 1, "", ""
|
|
"Thanks!", 3, 2, "", "", ""
|
|
"Gracias :)", 4, "", 2, "", ""
|
|
|
|
Notice how for each message, the counter goes up by one, and they are independent.
|
|
|
|
Let's see what happens when User-B sends a message to Group-S::
|
|
|
|
User-B → Group-S: Nice group
|
|
|
|
.. csv-table:: Message identifiers
|
|
:header: "Message", "User-A", "User-B", "User-C", "Group-S", "Group-M"
|
|
|
|
"Hey, welcome!", 1, 1, "", "", ""
|
|
"¡Bienvenido!", 2, "", 1, "", ""
|
|
"Thanks!", 3, 2, "", "", ""
|
|
"Gracias :)", 4, "", 2, "", ""
|
|
"Nice group", 5, 3, "", "", ""
|
|
|
|
While the message was sent to a different chat, the group itself doesn't have a counter.
|
|
The message identifiers are still unique for each account.
|
|
The chat where the message was sent can be completely ignored.
|
|
|
|
Megagroups behave differently::
|
|
|
|
User-C → Group-M: Buen grupo
|
|
|
|
.. csv-table:: Message identifiers
|
|
:header: "Message", "User-A", "User-B", "User-C", "Group-S", "Group-M"
|
|
|
|
"Hey, welcome!", 1, 1, "", "", ""
|
|
"¡Bienvenido!", 2, "", 1, "", ""
|
|
"Thanks!", 3, 2, "", "", ""
|
|
"Gracias :)", 4, "", 2, "", ""
|
|
"Nice group", 5, 3, "", "", ""
|
|
"Buen grupo", "", "", "", "", 1
|
|
|
|
The group has its own message counter.
|
|
Each user won't get a copy of the message with their own identifier, but rather everyone sees the same message.
