### Example:


```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) {
    $this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) {
    $sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
    echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
    $code = '';
    for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
        $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
    }
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Bool = $MadelineProto->messages->saveDraft(['no_webpage' => Bool, 'reply_to_msg_id' => int, 'peer' => InputPeer, 'message' => string, 'entities' => [MessageEntity], 'parse_mode' => 'string', ]);
```

## Usage of parse_mode:

Set parse_mode to html to enable HTML parsing of the message.  

Set parse_mode to Markdown to enable markown AND html parsing of the message.  

The following tags are currently supported:

```
<br>a newline
<b><i>bold works ok, internal tags aren't parsed and shown as is</i> </ b>
<strong>bold</strong>
<em>italic</em>
<i>italic</i>
<code>inline fixed-width code</code>
<pre>pre-formatted fixed-width code block</pre>
<a href="https://github.com">URL</a>
<a href="mention:@danogentili">Mention by username</a>
<a href="mention:186785362">Mention by user id</a>
<pre language="json">Pre tags can have a language attribute</pre>
```

You can also use normal markdown, note that to create mentions you must use the `mention:` syntax like in html:  

```
[Mention by username](mention:@danogentili)
[Mention by user id](mention:186785362)
```

MadelineProto supports all html entities supported by [html_entity_decode](http://php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php).
