Hey there, Discord users! Ever notice how some messages in Discord chats just seem to jump out at you? They’ve got these cool colored backgrounds and look super fancy. You might think it’s some complicated coding magic, but guess what? It’s actually pretty simple, and you can do it too!
Most of us just type and send messages on Discord without thinking much about coding. And that’s totally fine – chatting should be easy and fun. But what if I told you there’s a way to make your messages really stand out, and it’s not even that hard to learn?
Those fancy messages you’ve seen with cool color backgrounds are made using something called ‘code blocks.’ Code blocks are like a secret tool to give your messages an extra punch. They change the background of your message, making it pop!
And there’s this thing called Markdown. With Markdown, you can do even more, like changing how your text looks with some easy-to-use codes. But, honestly, just changing the background color is often enough to make people go, “Wow!”
So, are you ready to turn your messages from ordinary to extraordinary? Keep reading, and I’ll show you how to use code blocks to make your messages the star of any Discord chat! 🌟📱
What Is a Code Block?
Ever seen messages in Discord that stand out with a different colored background? That’s a code block! It’s a neat trick to make your text more noticeable and add a bit of style to your messages. A code block changes the background of your text, making it distinct from the rest of the chat. But don’t worry, it doesn’t mess with your text’s font or style.
How to Create Code Blocks
Creating a code block is super easy. Just use backticks (`) – that’s the little key right below the Esc key on your keyboard.
- For a single line of text, use one backtick at the start and end, like this: `Your text here!`
- For multiple lines, use three backticks and start your text on a new line. Like this:
“` Hello Goodbye Nice “`
Remember, there should be no spaces between the triple backticks and start your text on a new line for multiple-line code blocks.
Code Blocks vs. Markdown
It’s easy to mix up code blocks and Markdown. Both can change how your text looks in Discord, but they’re different. Code blocks are all about changing the background, while Markdown is for text formatting.
Using Code Blocks on Different Devices
On Windows PC or Mac:
- Open Discord.
- Go to any server and text channel you can type in.
- Type your message between single or triple backticks (depending on if it’s one line or multiple).
- Press Enter to send. If done right, your message will have a cool background!
On iPhone:
- Open the Discord app.
- Go to a server and channel where you can type.
- Find the backtick on your symbols keyboard (usually on the left side).
- Start and end your message with a backtick (or three for multiple lines).
- Send your message and watch it stand out!
On Android:
- Launch the Discord app.
- Choose a server and channel.
- Bring up your keyboard and find the backtick.
- Type your message within the backticks and send it.
Remember:
- On mobile devices, the backtick might be in different places depending on your keyboard.
- Code blocks work in direct messages too, not just in public chats.
- The steps are pretty similar across devices, so once you’ve got it down on one, you can do it on others.
So there you go! Now you know all about using code blocks to make your Discord messages pop. Have fun with it and see how creative you can get! 🌈💬
