Error response from API when sending underscores

[pitasi]

Hi there!
Thanks for your cool API, really easy to use.

I found a problem when trying to send messages that contains underscores.
I investigated a bit and I saw that:
https://api.telegram.org/botMYTOKEN/sendMessage?parse_mode=markdown&chat_id=SOMECHATID&text=Just_making_some_tests
will NOT work.

The solution is quite easy, just escape any _ character like this:
https://api.telegram.org/botMYTOKEN/sendMessage?parse_mode=markdown&chat_id=SOMECHATID&text=Just\_making\_some\_tests
and it will work without issues.

Basically, in my bot I just made str.replace("_", "\_") to make it works, but I think it should be fixed in the module.

Thanks again, and have a nice day.
Antonio

UPDATE: This issue happens only when you set parse_mode='markdown' sending the message and Telegram can't find a match for some _.
Now it does make sense.

Just to make it all clear to anyone reading this issue:

String Just_making_some_tests contains odd number of underscores, so Telegram API request will fail with parse error. When using parse_mode "Markdown" or "HTML", you must check validity of text by yourself.

Since it's not pyTelegramBotAPI issue, I suggest closing it.

str.replace("_", "\_") it works. Thanks a lot
