- If you aren't logged in, enter your email address and password and click Login.
- Select a channel. Click the channel to which you want to send your text in the upper-left side of the page.
- Click the message text box. This is at the bottom of the Discord window.
- Press the back-tick key. It's the ` key typically found in the upper-left side of the keyboard on the same key as the tilde (~). Doing so will type one back-tick into the Discord text box.
- If you want to format a block of code, skip this step and the next three steps.
- Enter the text you want to format. Type in the word or phrase you want to format as a line of code.
- Press the back-tick key again. You should now have one back-tick on each side of the text you're sending as a code.
- For example, if you're trying to format the line "I like trains", you would have `I like trains` typed into the text box.
- Press ↵ Enter. Doing so will format and send your message.
- Format a block of code. If you want to send a sample of code (e.g., an HTML page) to someone through Discord, you can type three back-ticks (```) before and after the text and then press ↵ Enter.[1]
- For example, to format the code "" as a block, you would type`````` into Discord and press ↵ Enter.
- If you want to set a specific language for your code block, type the three apostrophes, type in the language (e.g., css) on the first line, create a new line, and add the rest of your code before typing the closing three apostrophes.
