Ever seen people have fancy discord messages? In this blog post I will help explain how to do similar!

Discord now supports Markdown formatting (to an extent). Markdown is a standard way to style messages. (Fun Fact: this blog post is made with Markdown!). Anywho, on to the formatting!

Text

Pretty much everyone knows that for years you could do some basic text styling.

What?	How?
Italics	*Italics*
Bold	**Bold**
Underline	__Underline__
Strikethrough	~~Strikethrough~~

You can mix these up, so you can try __***underline bold italics***__ if you want!

Headers

You can use Hashtags at the beginning of a line to describe three different sized headings.

Subtext

Great for hiding small bits of info!

Links

Want links like this? Then this is how!

[Link Text](https://example.com)

You can also remove the embed from these links like thus:

[Link Text](https://example.com>)

This is the same as normal links on discord:

<https://example.com>

Lists

Lists are great for... listing things!

Bulleted Lists

Numbered Lists

Indented Lists

Code Blocks

Look at you, being all smart with code... and sharing it!

Do note: We are using BACKTICKS to do this. On US keyboards it should be on the left of the 1 - on UK keyboards it should be left of the Z.

Single Line Code Blocks

`A single line code block can be made like this!`

Multi Line Code Blocks

```

Here

is

a

multi

line

code

block

```

You can also add colours to your code, like your IDE by adding the language name after the first three back ticks. For example:

```ts

Block Quotes

Finally. Block quotes!

Single Line block quotes

Multi Line block quotes

You can simply change > to >>>, and the rest of your message will be in block quotes!

That's a wrap!

That is all you can do for now in Discord. Until they update it again, see you!
