Discord Text Formatting Tool: Bold, Spoilers, Code & Lists Without Guesswork

1. Start inside the live formatter

Open the Discord Text Formatting Tool and paste the message you plan to send. The left pane keeps your raw text untouched, while the right pane wraps it in the Markdown formatting you choose and mirrors Discord's dark UI for instant validation.

1. Type or paste your announcement, mod report, or patch notes into the editor.
2. Toggle bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, spoiler, quotes, bulleted or numbered lists.
3. Switch to inline code or code block modes when you need monospace syntax (languages supported: JS, TS, Python, JSON, HTML, CSS, bash, Markdown).
4. Hit Copy to grab the ready-to-send Markdown and drop it into Discord.

The preview panel updates as you type, so you can confidently share the output even when combining styles that usually conflict.

2. Combine formatting safely

Discord's Markdown compiler can get cranky when you nest syntax in the wrong order. The formatter takes care of the wrapping logic so your messages render the same every time. Here's how the tool layers the common combos:

The formatter disables conflicting toggles automatically. Turn on inline code and all other inline styles reset; switch to code blocks and list toggles pause, keeping your Markdown valid.

3. Drop-in templates for your next announcement

```py
# Automate your Discord reminders
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def daily_briefing():
    await channel.send("Daily standup starts in 10 minutes — ")
```

4. Pair formatting with timestamps and snowflakes

Great formatting shines when paired with precise timing. Consider chaining the formatter with other tools on DiscordTimestamp.online:

• Timestamp Generator — drop formatted <t:...> codes into block quotes or callouts.
• Countdown Timer — convert launch dates into relative timers for hype moments.
• Snowflake Converter — cite message IDs in moderation logs without leaving the preview.
• Unix Converter — bridge backend timestamps to Discord-ready formats.

5. QA checklist before you send

• Copy the Markdown output and paste it back into the tool to confirm nothing broke.
• Drop the message into a private Discord channel to preview emojis, mentions, and role colors.
• Double-check timestamps against your target timezone using the timestamp generator.
• Save frequently used snippets in a bot command or macro so your team formats consistently.
