petsay emotes in binds

So, I test a command that has my minions howling or laughing or plotting

if I type it out I get the howl, laugh or plot

if I put it in a bind, I get this in the spoken chat: "<em Howl>" "<em EvilLaugh>" and "<em Plot>"

which kind of works since they're supposed to be video game characters come to life and are code-speaking demons, but still wonder why the emotes aren't working in binds

They are. My zoms sing the entire YMCA song, complete with emotes. it is a little tricky, because you have to make sure the spaces are correct. try this one as a macro:

/macro BLOOD petsay_all <em roar>Me smell BLOOOOOOD!!!!

Petsay Binds
As of Issue 13, code has been added to prevent players from crashing other players clients through tags that use angle brackets (the greater than and less than signs, <, >).
As of Issue 18 this has been fixed for almost all binds and macros with one exception: Newly made /petsay binds can't parse the angle brackets. However, petsay macros do work.
As a workaround, you can use the /beginchat in a bind to put the petsay command into the command line and then just hit enter. E.g.:
/bind <key> beginchat "/petsayall <emote dance>"
Will put /petsayall <emote dance> in the command line. Then just hit enter.
