markdown square bracket characters [ ] dont work

[lsaavedr]

dont work:

bot.api.sendMessage(chat_id: message.chat.id, text: "\[dont show in brackets\]", parse_mode: "Markdown")

work, but why?:

bot.api.sendMessage(chat_id: message.chat.id, text: "\\[show in brackets\]", parse_mode: "Markdown")

I believe it's Telegram API's issue, as gem doesn't do any markdown transformation and sends your data as is.

HowTo see the RESTful request ?

[lsaavedr]

maybe it is a faraday hash-parse-params-to-generate-request-url problem...

[lsaavedr]

was because text must be surrounded with ' not with " (ruby style), but the second scape ']' it's not necessary and it's an API's issue?
