* Necessary quotation in Matrix room id or alias

@ -36,6 +36,6 @@ Configuration variables:
- **default_room** (*Required*): The room all messages will be sent to, when no other target is given.
- **verify_ssl** (*Optional*): Verify the homeservers certificate. Defaults to `true`.
The target room has to be precreated, the room id can be obtained from the rooms settings dialog. Rooms by default have a canonical id of the form `!<randomid>:homeserver.tld`, but can also be allocated aliases like `#roomname:homeserver.tld`. The notifying account may need to be invited to the room, depending on the individual rooms policies.
The target room has to be precreated, the room id can be obtained from the rooms settings dialog. Rooms by default have a canonical id of the form `"!<randomid>:homeserver.tld"`, but can also be allocated aliases like `"#roomname:homeserver.tld"`. Make sure to use quotes around the room id or alias to escape special characters (`!`, and `#`) in YAML. The notifying account may need to be invited to the room, depending on the individual rooms policies.
