Using yaml syntax, you can create very expressive embeds.
The below is an example which uses every available option in some capacity.
This is also provided as an actual yaml file which you can use with [p]embed uploadnostore to test and tweak
description: |
This is a multi-line embed description
Note, the `|` after description, and the indentation.
Each new line is preserved in the result
Some of the fields below have special handling for ease of use which do not directly
Correspond to the JSON payload sent to discord.
Notable examples of this include
* fields (where fields are a numbered dict instead of an array to keep the resulting yaml pretty)
* timestamp (where timestamps are parsed to be more human)
* color (where hex color support is added with 0xff0000 , even though discord transmits the decimal)
Emoji such as :one: work properly if sent in discord and the bot can use the emoji
As the emoji names you use like that are a niceness added to discord's interface, not actually how the message is sent,
For custom emoji, if using the in discord method you can just add the emoji to the text,
but when uploading, you'd need the code. you can get this by inserting a backslash in front of an emoji
it should look something like
<:whip:355915004366815236>
or
<a:magic:487039012197105675>
color: 0xff0000
