Parse mode
Mistake: Sending HTML output with MarkdownV2 selected in the external publisher.
Fix: Use the same parse_mode as this tool. Enter plain text here; do not pre-escape or paste existing markup.

How it works
Escape and format text for Telegram bot messages using HTML or MarkdownV2 parse mode, entirely locally.
This prepares text for a bot or compatible publisher that accepts the matching parse_mode. Ordinary chat may display the markup literally. Nothing is sent and no bot token is needed here. One style per block; maximum 4096 UTF-16 code units before escaping, so some emoji count as two. Telegram's final message limits still apply.
