### MadelineProto Example ([now async for huge speed and parallelism!](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/ASYNC.html)):


```php
if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->editMessage(no_webpage: $Bool, invert_media: $Bool, peer: $InputPeer, id: $int, message: 'string', media: $InputMedia, reply_markup: $ReplyMarkup, entities: [$MessageEntity, $MessageEntity], parse_mode: 'string', schedule_date: $int, quick_reply_shortcut_id: $int, );
```


## Usage of reply_markup

You can provide bot API reply_markup objects here.  



## Return value 

If the length of the provided message is bigger than 4096, the message will be split in chunks and the method will be called multiple times, with the same parameters (except for the message), and an array of [Updates](../types/Updates.html) will be returned instead.



## Usage of parse_mode:

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

Set parse_mode to Markdown to enable markdown parsing of the message.  

The following tags are currently supported:

```html
<br>a newline
<b><i>bold works ok, internal tags are stripped</i> </b>
<strong>bold</strong>
<em>italic</em>
<i>italic</i>
<u>underline</u>
<s>strikethrough</s>
<del>strikethrough</del>
<strike>strikethrough</strike>
<code>inline fixed-width code</code>
<pre>pre-formatted fixed-width code block</pre>
<blockquote>pre-formatted fixed-width code block</blockquote>

<pre language="json">Pre tags can have a language attribute</pre>
<spoiler>Spoiler</spoiler>
<tg-spoiler>Spoiler</tg-spoiler>
```

You can also use normal markdown ([bot API MarkdownV2 syntax](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#markdownv2-style)), note that to create mentions you can also use the `mention:` syntax like in html:  

```markdown
*bold \*text*
_italic \*text_
__underline__
~strikethrough~
||spoiler||
*bold _italic bold ~italic bold strikethrough ||italic bold strikethrough spoiler||~ __underline italic bold___ bold*
[inline URL](http://www.example.com/)
