How to use

• Response text with HTML markup:

  script:
      $reactions.answer({
          "value": "You won this battle!",
          "html": "<b>You won this battle!</b>"
      });
  caution

  Only the chat widget, Chat API, and Telegram support HTML markup. In other channels, the client will receive a message without formatting.

• Response text with speech synthesis markup:

  script:
      $reactions.answer({
          "value": "141155501234",
          "tts": "<say-as interpret-as=\"telephone\">141155501234</say-as>"
      });
