Want to inject some flavor into your everyday text chat? You're in luck! Discord uses Markdown, a simple plain text formatting system that'll help you make your sentences stand out. Here's how to do it! Just add a few characters before & after your desired text to change your text! I'll show you some examples...

Sweet Styles

Don't want to use markdown? Pop your message in a code block and you're good to go! 

Code Blocks

1) Discord also supports code blocks as well.  You can make your own code blocks by wrapping your text in backticks (`)

2) You can also use three backticks (```) to create multiline code blocks, like this beautifully written haiku.

Block Quotes

Markdown now supports Block Quotes! 

The syntax to use Block Quotes is > or >>> followed by a space. 

> at the beginning of a line of text, creates a single-line block quote. 

>>> at the beginning of a line of text, creates a multi-line block quote. All text from >>> until the end of the message will be included in the quote

And you get the idea! Now you're a Discord text markdown expert. Get out there and highlight your statements! 

PS: Spoilers are a kind of Markdown formatting, too! Using the syntax || around your text will mark it as a spoiler. This is also negated by a code block. You can learn more about Spoiler Tags here!
