Description

Some bot commands are very long and not only take up a lot of space on the screen but also take away the attention from the link to the docs. The best example I have is the .atc command:

FlyByWire A32NX | Using the built-in Microsoft Flight Simulator ATC
There are multiple ways of using the built-in ATC of MSFS:
Loading a Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map
Ensures the Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map is imported into the aircraft's MCDU, without synchronizing changes back to MSFS ATC.
Using a Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map with MSFS ATC
This mode loads the Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map into the aircraft's MCDU and attempts to synchronize all changes made back to MSFS ATC.
Importing a SimBrief Flight Plan and using MSFS ATC
When importing the Flight Plan from SimBrief and not building a Flight Plan through the MSFS World Map, this mode will attempt to synchronize the Flight Plan back to MSFS ATC.
More information
Please read the Flight Planning Guide for more details.

Since the actual solution to the problem that caused the execution of the command is not in the bot message - only in the linked docs - many people get confused here as they can see the mode they want but don't know how to activate it as that would require clicking on the link which truly drowns in the bot message.

A solution to this problem would be to shorten the message to make clicking on the link a more obvious decision.
This applies to all bot commands to increase the awareness of the documentation and its complexity.

My idea for the .atc / .flightplanning command specifically would be something like:

There are three different flight planning modes you can use with the A32NX:
Loading a Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map, using a Flight Plan from the MSFS World Map with MSFS ATC, importing a SimBrief Flight Plan and using MSFS ATC

For information about how to select the mode you want, read the Flight Planning Guide
