We will also tell you how to highlight a word or phrase in a very simple way. Don’t miss out on anything to get the most out of your Discord community. Let’s get started.
Learn step-by-step how to send Discord messages with bold, italic, strikethrough, or underlined font
To make more fun your communications on Discord Y manage better conversations, it is important that you know some tricks that Discord offers you. This will allow you to make the most of the channels and to better expose your ideas.
See below what we have prepared for you:
Bold
Whenever you want place bold words within a message you will have to go to the server and choose the text channel in which you want to chat. You can do this from the left column of the screen.
Once you have entered the corresponding chat room you must prepend and end the word or sentence you want to highlight with two asterisks (**). For example, if you want to write Discord in bold in the following text: Course Discord on the Internet Step by Step, you will have to enter ** Discord ** Course on the Internet Step by Step.
Italics
If what you are looking for is highlight all text or just one word in italics you will have to follow the same method used for bold words. But in this case you must start and finish what you want to detail with a single asterisk
. Continuing with the previous example you will have to write Discord in italics. Therefore, you will have to enter the writing panel in the following: Course of * Discord *on the Internet Step by Step . You can also run this function
using an underscore (_) at both ends to highlight.
Strikethrough To highlight a word or sentence with a strikethrough in Discord you will have to use two tillers (~) in front of and behind the text. This will make the word appear written with a line above it, which will allow it to be read. So you should keep in mind that this trick will not erase what you want to cross out, it will simply highlight the text in a different way. In the example that we maintain, you must write Course of ~~ Discord ~~
on the Internet Step by Step. You can see the result in the image.
Underlined When you need to write words or sentences and then underline them you will have to enter the channel of the chosen server and enter in the writing panel two underscores in a row (_ _) at the beginning and at the end of the text in question. In this way, you will have to write Course of __Discord__ on the Internet Step by Stepto underline only the word Discord
.
Combine styles The tricks that we have shown you so farcan be applied individually
But this does not mean that they cannot join together for greater benefits. If you use the different variants, you can have the same word, or a text, written in bold and underlined, among other alternatives. See below how you can mix each situation:
- Underlined and bold: You will be able to combine these two functions by first typing the two asterisks and then the two underscores. At the end of the word or sentence you will have to write the hyphens and then finish with the asterisks. For example,** __ Discord __ **
- . Italic and underline: When you want to combine these two styles you will have to write the asterisk first, continue with the underscores, write the text you want to highlight and finally finish with the hyphens and the asterisk. Remember to put a single asterisk, since if you write 2 it will become bold and not italic. With this, our example will be* __ Discord __ *
- . Bold font and italics: In this case you will have to write and end with 3 asterisks.*** Discord ***
- . Underlined, bold and italic: To combine these three tricks you will have to enter three asterisks and then two underscores in the message panel. At the end of the text, you will have to write (in this order) two underscores and three asterisks. In this way, by wanting to highlight the example that we have been analyzing, it will be*** __ Discord __ ***
- . Crossed out and bold: What you will have to do in this case is to enter the 2 small marks, then the asterisks, write what you want to highlight and then finish with the 2 asterisks and with the small marks. Therefore, the example will remain~~ ** Discord ** ~~
- . Bold, strikethrough and underline: If you wish, you can add the underline to the text you want to highlight in the previous step. For example, you will have to enter two underscores on each side to make it~~ ** __ Discord __ ** ~~
- . Italic, underline, strikethrough, and bold: This is the full combination that you can use on Discord. To do this you will have to write two small letters, then three asterisks, two underscores and the text to be highlighted. To finish, you must enter in the following order: two underscores, three asterisks, and two small marks. This will be as follows~~ *** __ Discord __ *** ~~
