Discord has a lightweight engine, Markdown, working on all the formatting. Markdown is markup language which is very simple to read and write. There is another feature present, Highlight.js which is used for code block highlighting.
Formatting text in Discord
Contents
- How to Bold Text: All you have to do is put two asterisks or stars in front of the text you want to write in bold. The asterisk is SHIFT + 8 on your keyboard. Example- **hello**
- How to Italicise text: For italics, you just have to put one asterisk instead of two in front of the text you want to be italicised.
Example- *hello*
- How to create Bold Italicised text: For this, instead of only one or two asterisks, it is three asterisks.
Example- ***hello***
- How to Underline text: We simply have to put two underscores for making the text underlined.
Example- _hello_
- How to create Strikethrough text: We need to use the tilde (~) key.
Example- ~~hello~~
Combining Text Formatting Options
