Posted on by T_TERADA

According to the following document, Microsoft Teams supports markdown format as chatbot message.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/format-your-bot-messages

From Power Virtual Agent, how can I display such markdown format message?

Do I have to use a adaptive card?

Hi @T_TERADA,

On the latest version of PVA, you can use markdown formatting directly in the text editor.
So, [Bing](https://www.bing.com) will render as Bing

You can use these Markdown formats in Teams: Use Markdown formatting in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support

@HenryJammes ,
Thank you.
If I send a html table in markdown format.

If I send a table in HTML format.

So, if I want to show a table, do I have to use HTML format?

This isn't the Markdown format for tables, I was expecting something like this: https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#tables
But maybe Teams as specific way to handle tables and HTML is the way to go.

@HenryJammes ,
Thank you for your prompt reply.

MS Teams doesn't (or cannot) render HTML inside markdown format? such as..
```html
<table>
:
</table>
```

@HenryJammes ,
Thank you. I see.
>>Teams supports a subset of Markdown and XML (HTML) formatting tags.
>>Text-only messages don't support table formatting.

It looks html table is not supported yet, but it works in some situations (in below).
That's what's confusing me.
