Linking in messages not present in Slack

Message:

{
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "sender": "@user:matrix.org",
  "content": {
    "body": "[link](https://jonnev.se)",
    "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
    "msgtype": "m.text",
    "formatted_body": "<a href=\"https://jonnev.se\">link</a>"
  },
}

I also have another example where the message is a notice (using that to not trigger notifications in Riot when posting as a bot)

{
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "content": {
    "body": "Solving all 42 versions of the Harry Potter potions puzzle (comments)",
    "msgtype": "m.notice",
    "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
    "formatted_body": "<a href='https://kevingal.com/blog/potter-puzzle.html'>Solving all 42 versions of the Harry Potter potions puzzle</a> (<a href='https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/deauxe/solving_all_42_versions_of_the_harry_potter/'>comments</a>)"
  },
}

Including the m.notice thing @Half-Shot ?

Nope, but that's a separate issue. We don't currently parse HTML from messages at all, so it won't be bridged. You should open a new issue for that though.

Just tested with the matrix.org instance. I now only see the URL, the link text is discarded.

It works the other way around so I solved it that way for now! Sending formatted Slack links converts properly in Matrix 👌🏻
