How Markdown maps to Discord
| Feature | Markdown | Discord |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | **x** or __x__ | **x** |
| Italic | *x* | *x* |
| Strikethrough | ~~x~~ | ~~x~~ |
| Link | [text](url) | [text](url) |
Common gotchas
- The big one: Markdown __bold__ must become **bold** for Discord, because Discord reads __ as underline.
- Discord supports headings only to level 3.
- Discord is one of the few targets that keeps clickable [text](url) links in normal messages.
Frequently asked
- Why is my Markdown bold showing as underline in Discord?
- Markdown treats __x__ as bold, but Discord treats __x__ as underline. This tool rewrites it to **x** so it stays bold.
- Do Discord links use Markdown syntax?
- Yes, Discord keeps clickable [text](url) links in normal messages.
