Instead of only one or two asterisks, it’s three asterisks. You might’ve been able to guess the markdown for Bold + Italics by now… Here’s what I typed to get the result shown in the image below: Here’s an example of *italicized text* How to Create Bold Italic Text in Discord (Bold + Italics)
To bold text, we used two asterisks, like this: **bold text**įor italics, we would do the same thing but with one single asterisk: *italicized text*Īgain, the asterisk (star) is SHIFT+8 on your keyboard. To create italics or Discord italic text, you have to type the asterisk once again, but this time use only one asterisk. Here’s an example of **bolded text** How to Italicize Text (Create Slanted Discord Italics) For now, all you have to know is that Discord uses Markdown for its text formatting, and Highlight.js for code block highlighting. You don’t have to remember all those nitty-gritty details. This will all make much more sense when we get to some juicy examples down below. What does exist for our text-coloring purposes, though, is a “hacked” version of text highlighting using syntax coloring methods from highlight.js.Įven though we can’t directly highlight text, we can create a Discord code block, point it towards a specific syntax highlighting profile included in highlight.js, and then use that to our advantage by wrapping our text in the appropriate symbols.
You can’t say, “I want this word to be in red, and this one to be in blue!”. Now, I want to make it clear that Discord doesn’t have true full-text highlighting.

You Can Learn Awesome Discord Text Formatting What kind of Discord command(s) were people using to format their text so nicely? People were typing in underlines, bolded letters, strikethrough text, italics, and even colors within the Discord chat! “How in the world do people type in colors within their Discord message?!”, I thought. I was a complete newbie back then when I joined my first Discord channel.
