In this quick section you will learn about Discord text markdown and how to apply it your Discord bot.

Breakdown

Discord allows you to format your text when chatting with other uses. For example, you can bold messages, italicize messages, underline messages, and more. They also allow you to add code blocks into Discord.

When normally chatting, you can highlight text and click a button to apply a markdown, as shown below:

However, you can also type things into your message that will do the same thing, and that is what you can enter into a Discord bot's message.

For example, if I wanted to type a message in bold to my friend, I can type **hello**. Even this website uses markdown as it is a common way of letting users format their messages.

The following is a markdown guide for Discord. You can explore more markdown information at https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline-.
