Description
Telegram Bot API 10.1's sendRichMessage supports LaTeX rendering via $$...$$ blocks, but some common LaTeX commands are not recognized:
\boxed{...} — renders as raw text\ce{...} (mhchem chemical equations) — renders as raw text
What works
\frac, \int, \sum, \sqrt, \nabla, \partial, \hbar, \infty, matrices (\begin{pmatrix}), etc. — all render correctly.
Test case
$$
\boxed{E_n = \hbar\omega \left( n + \frac{1}{2} \right)}
$$Expected: boxed equation
Actual: \boxed{...} appears as literal text; inner content renders fine.
Context
Reported downstream at NousResearch/hermes-agent#47779. Hermes passes raw LaTeX unchanged to the Bot API — the gap is in Telegram's renderer, not the client.
Request
Either add \boxed and \ce to the supported LaTeX subset, or document which LaTeX packages/commands are supported vs. not in the Bot API docs.
