Frequently asked
- How do I underline in Discord?
- Wrap the text in double underscores, like __underline__. Discord reads __ as underline, unlike Markdown which reads it as bold.
- How do I make a spoiler in Discord?
- Wrap the text in double pipes, like ||hidden||, and it shows as a click-to-reveal spoiler.
- Does Discord support colored text?
- Only inside ANSI code blocks. There is no inline colored text in normal messages.
