By specifying parse_mode=ParseMode.HTML in send_message() you can use HTML tags.

Example for Hyperlink

bot.send_message(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, text = "<a href='https://www.google.com/'>Google</a>", parse_mode = ParseMode.HTML)

Example for Bold

bot.send_message(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, text = "<b>Bold font</b>", parse_mode = ParseMode.HTML)
