We can send chat messages using the ZoomMtg.sendChat function and it works as expected. However, we can only send simple string messages so far.  
Users can send formatted messages (i.e ` **bold** ` renders bold text). Is this possible to do with the sendChat function?  
I tried using these variants but all are just printed literally. simbols and all:

```auto
**my key sentence**
 **my key sentence**
<b>my key sentence</b>
[b]my key sentence[/b]

```
