I need to format my text in telegram. I try to use markdown language for the following text:

* Item
* Item

It prints the text as it is. It is supposed to print bullets instead.

How can I change Telegram format?

The built-in Telegram panel To access the panel, select the text you want to format. Then, click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner if you use Android. In iOS, right-click the text and choose “B/U.” And in the desktop version, right-click the text and choose “Formatting.”

Does markdown work in Telegram?

Telegram supports styled text using message entities. A client that wants to send styled messages would simply have to integrate a Markdown/HTML parser, and generate an array of message entities by iterating through the parsed tags.

Telegram's versions of MarkDown: Markdown & Markdown v2 don't support any sort of lists.

The only way to achieve this is using the pre-formatted code block with a 'custom' list which will allow any sort of indentation:

```
1) Item - 1
2) Item - 2
    A) Sub-Item - 1
```

This will not help you with indentations but will make nicely looking bullet points. Just copy and paste the bullet point UTF-8 character at the beginning of each line.

• first point
• second point
• etc
