Issue with HTML Parse Mode in a Telegram Bot

I’m developing a Telegram bot and encountered a problem with HTML formatting when sending messages. When I try to send a bold message, the program fails with an error similar to the one below:

bot_instance.deliver_message(user_context.session_id, "<b>Your Balance:</b>", display_mode=telegram_client.Markup.HTML)

The error reads: AttributeError: module ‘telegram_client’ has no attribute ‘Markup’. I am wondering if there is an extra dependency that needs to be installed beyond the common libraries like pyTeleBot, python-decouple, and telegram-client. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I ran into similar formatting issues when developing my Telegram bot. After some debugging and cross-checking package documentation, I discovered that the error was due to a version compatibility issue between the packages. In my case, using the correct attribute from the updated telegram-API module worked, so I switched to the documented method for setting HTML mode in messages. It also helped to thoroughly review the changelog and update dependencies accordingly. Making sure you refer to the latest documentation saved me a lot of time and got the bot back on track.
