A message to bot gets formatted before being sent

[OleksiyRudenko]

Android mobile Telegram client Plus (native client not confirmed) employs markdown formatting. The message gets parsed and formatted, and special char sequences are stripped out before being sent to a bot.

So, the message e.g. /js let a=5; `The number is ${a}` is sent as /js let a=5; The number is ${a} causing SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

try "{0}{1}".format(a,b)

Possible workaround: enclose entire message into a pair of triple backticks.
Single backticks work as well but triplets are required to quote multiline instructions.
Probably, latest telegram updates fixed the issue.
