Some Discord functions can be tricky for new users. With that quick primer out of the way, let’s take a look at how you can use Markdown to create some common text effects in Discord. Other popular websites, like Reddit, also use Markdown to allow users to easily customize their text without having to know how to write any HTML. You type the codes directly into the Discord chat window, and the output that everyone else (and you) sees in the chat window is the transformed text. Putting it before turns the effect on, and putting it after turns the effect off.
The basic principle behind all of these formatting codes is simple: you put a special character or characters both before and after the text you want to transform. There are a number of Markdown options and we will highlight each of the basic things you can do with this useful text tool. The basic idea of Markdown is that it is easier to use than HTML while producing the same visual effects, and without having to deal with opening and closing tags. Markdown is written in Perl, a very popular online programming language. This includes the ability to make text bold, underlined, and other similar effects. It allows users to just type normal text plus the formatting codes (which aren’t complicated or lengthy) thus producing a wide variety of visual effects with very little effort for the person typing the message. Essentially, it converts what you write in plain text into HTML which is then rendered in a browser.
Understanding Markdown Textĭiscord uses the “Markdown Text” formatting system, a markup language that uses plain text for formatting.
In this article, I will show you how to add formatting to your text chats using Discord’s support for the Markdown Text formatting system. However, since Discord offers a variety of features and capabilities, it can take a while to learn the ins and outs of using the platform. As a result, Discord has become a very popular platform for a wide range of communities outside of gaming. Although the service is really oriented heavily around voice communication to allow gamers to coordinate their play online, the chat portion of the service is rich and full-featured as well.
