Question

My message shows as a code block in Discord, but how do I add a straight colored line beside the block?

Community Answer

Unfortunately you can't color single-line code blocks in Discord. Using a block code should work, however.

Question

When I use text highlighting, can I add code using the things?

Community Answer

That isn't possible unless you use two code boxes with two color codes.

Question

How do I color text on discord?

Community Answer

You can format Discord code blocks to show colored text, you can do ```diff -(text here) ``` to make text red.

Question

Is there a way to send embed messages?

Community Answer

Right now, only Discord bots can send embeds. It isn't possible for users to send embeds.

Question

I put a full code for a webpage (HTML) and some stuff is blue, some is yellow while some is red. Why does that happen? Is it pointing out mistakes and such?

Community Answer

This is syntax highlighting. The different colors symbolise different parts of the syntax such as tags, data types, attributes etc. Examples can be found on the highlight.js demo site.

Question

Can you actually code anything with this feature? Or is it just to share the lines of code with people?

Community Answer

The feature is primarily for syntax highlighting. Discord is a chat application, not a code editor or IDE. So it's just to share pretty code with others.
