Rich text format for response text in facebook chatbot

Question

I want to format(change font size/text color/apply text style - bold/underline/italic etc) the response text send to user in Facebook chatbot.

I do not see any such support in the messenger API. Just wanted to confirm if its supported or not? Is there any other way/approach to achieve this?

Thanks in advance, picku

You can accomplish something similar to what you want using the web view API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/messenger-extension

This allows you to display an HTML page without leaving the chat. If your responses are dynamic you could generate the pages at runtime and link to them using the API.
