Sending URLs with getMessageBuilder/postMessage

[clin407]

When using postMessage() and getMessageBuilder to build my messages, formatted text and newlines work fine but when I try linking my strings, it shows as the raw text instead of the linked text.

An example would be

<http://www.google.com|google>

returns as such in the message when it should show as

google

As a workaround you can manually enable the markdown before posting the message.

$message = $client->getMessageBuilder()
    ->setChannel('channel')
    ->setText('<http://www.google.com|google>')
    ->create()
;

// manual workaround
$message->data['mrkdwn'] = true;

$client->postMessage($message);

Tried, that still doesn't post correctly. This is the message content:

    "text" => """
      <https://www.strava.com/athletes/1111|Athlete> got the KOM for <https://www.strava.com/segments/11111|Segment>. He completed the KOM in *4 minutes, 33 seconds*\n
      """
    "channel" => "G1NM6CWTS"
    "mrkdwn" => true

The bolded text around the time shows correctly but nothing else does.

+1. Looks like a similar issue to #30 ... from what I can tell, formatting that would work if you were to type it into Slack directly functions properly (so * to bold *, _ to italicize _, ::, etc), but things like this link case do not.
