            parse_mode (``str``, *optional*):
                Use :obj:`MARKDOWN <pyrogram.ParseMode.MARKDOWN>` or :obj:`HTML <pyrogram.ParseMode.HTML>`
                if you want Telegram apps to show bold, italic, fixed-width text or inline URLs in your message.

                If the message is a reply, ID of the original message.

                Additional interface options. An object for an inline keyboard, custom reply keyboard,
                instructions to remove reply keyboard or to force a reply from the user.
