## Rich Message Formatting Support

The following tools now support rich message formatting in Teams channels and chats:
- `send_channel_message`
- `send_chat_message`
- `reply_to_channel_message`

### Format Options

You can specify the `format` parameter to control the message formatting:
- `text` (default): Plain text
- `markdown`: Markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists, links, code, etc.) - converted to sanitized HTML

When `format` is set to `markdown`, the message content is converted to HTML using a secure markdown parser and sanitized to remove potentially dangerous content before being sent to Teams.

If `format` is not specified, the message will be sent as plain text.

### Example Usage

```json
{
  "teamId": "...",
  "channelId": "...",
  "message": "**Bold text** and _italic text_\n\n- List item 1\n- List item 2\n\n[Link](https://example.com)",
  "format": "markdown"
}
```

```json
{
  "chatId": "...",
  "message": "Simple plain text message",
  "format": "text"
}
```

### Security Features

- **HTML Sanitization**: All markdown content is converted to HTML and sanitized to remove potentially dangerous elements (scripts, event handlers, etc.)
- **Allowed Tags**: Only safe HTML tags are permitted (p, strong, em, a, ul, ol, li, h1-h6, code, pre, etc.)
- **Safe Attributes**: Only safe attributes are allowed (href, target, src, alt, title, width, height)
- **XSS Prevention**: Content is automatically sanitized to prevent cross-site scripting attacks

### Supported Markdown Features

- **Lists**: Bulleted (`- item`) and numbered (`1. item`)
- **Code**: Inline `` `code` `` and blocks ``` ```code``` ```
- **Headings**: `# H1` through `###### H6`
- **Line breaks**: Automatic conversion of newlines to `<br>` tags
