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
Italics | *italics* or _italics_ | Underline italics | __*underline italics*__ |
Bold | **bold** | Underline bold | __**underline bold**__ |
Bold Italics | ***bold italics*** | underline bold italics | __***underline bold italics***__ |
Underline | __underline__ | Strikethrough | ~~Strikethrough~~ |
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
