Discord Markdown
Text formatting
Markdown Text 101 from Discord Support. Formatting works in all fields except username, embed's title, footer's text, that means :emoji: won't work there as well (except it's in Unicode).
Discord tags
2 ways:
- Using developer mode:
User settings➤Advanced➤Developer Mode➤ enable. Now you can find id of any user, message, channel or server with right click ➤ Copy ID - Using magic backslash
\escaping: Put it before (or if you're on iOS, surround with ``) user mention, mentionable role, channel tag or custom emoji and you will get unformatted data
This thing must be mentioned somewhere because some of you want to use this in messages.
| How it writes | How it looks |
|---|---|
<@&role-id> | @role-name |
<#channel-id> | #channel-name |
<@user-id> | @mention |
<:custom_emoji_name:emoji-id> | :custom_emoji_name: |
