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__ has to become **bold** for Discord, because Discord reads __ as underline.
- Discord supports headings only to level 3, so deeper headings get clamped.
- Discord is one of the few chat targets that keeps clickable [text](url) links in normal messages.
Frequently asked
- Why is my pasted Markdown bold showing as underline in Discord?
- Your Markdown used __x__ for bold, but Discord treats __x__ as underline. This converter rewrites it to **x** so it pastes back as bold.
- Do Discord links keep the Markdown [text](url) syntax?
- Yes. Discord renders [text](url) as a clickable link in normal messages, so your Markdown links carry over unchanged.
