Last update: 12.08.20

Emphasis

Expample Making
Italic *Italic* or _Italic_
Bold **Bold**
Strikethrough ~~Strikethrough~~
U͟n͟d͟e͟r͟l͟i͟n͟e͟ __Underline__

All this can be combined with each other:

Italic, Bold and Strikethrough: ~~_**Italic, Bold and Strikethrough**_~~

Spoilers

To hide some text before clicking it, you need to write it between ||.

Spoiler

Quotes

To quote someone’s message, click on it with RMB and on the corresponding button. Or you can do it like this:

Quote

Code Blocks

You can write code blocks directly in Discord.

One Line Code Block

Write the desired text between "`":

You can combine this with emphasis:

There are many more examples, but I would not use them, because they do not look very beautiful.

Remove Markdown

If you want to remove markdown, write \ in front of them:

  • \*Not Italic\*
  • \> Not a Quote
  • \|\|Not a Spoiler\|\| etc.

To remove the embed part of the message (YouTube video player, title and part of the article from the blog, etc.), you need to write a link between < >:

"Ghost" pings

There are situations when, for certain reasons, it's impossible to mention a role/member/channel. But still, there are methods thanks to which you can do this.

You need to turn on Developer mode in the Appearance settings.

Role

To mention a role that you cannot, you need to:

  1. Copy its ID.
    How to do it?CopyRoleID
  2. Insert it into the <@&Role ID>.
    What does it look like in Discord?RolePing
    Users with this role will not get a notification!

Member

To mention a member that isn't in a needed channel, but is on the server, you need to:

  1. Copy his ID.
    How to do it?CopyUserID
  2. Insert it into the <@User ID>.
    What does it look like in Discord?UserPing

Channel

To mention a channel that you don't have access to, you need to:

  1. Copy its ID.
How to do it?You can see a channel in the list to which you don't have access to, for example, thanks to the special BetterDiscord/EnhancedDiscord plugin.

CopyChannelID

2. Insert it into the `<#Channel ID>`.
What does it look like in Discord?See this mention may only users that can read the channel.

Quick reaction

To quickly add a reaction, you need to put "+" and write an emoji: +:emoji:. The text will disappear instantly and the reaction will appear on the last message. If this does not happen, you should press Enter.
