Because the TG has changed a bit relative to the date the article was published.... As I understand it, there are now 4 basic entities in TG:

1. Chat;
2. Channel;
3. User;
4. Bot.

Messages are sent by SendMessage() function:

int SendMessage(const long chat_id,
                const string text,
                const string reply_markup=NULL)

For each entity we need to find out its id. This can be done using IDBot (@username_to_id_bot).

I don't understand how to do it? It's telling me my username id and the menu bar is a prompt to send. I'll have to read it. ) thanks)

Yes, it works, but only in chats for some reason it sees groups, although it displays them differently, in chats the number of participants indicates. But in groups it does not. And it doesn't pass the group to the chat, but only to the group tab.

I tried writing "<br/>" in the text of the message and also replaced angle brackets and got"&lt;br/&gt;", but it doesn't work
