How to Use Code Blocks on Discord from Smartphone
Discord supports code blocks and you can send a single line or a multiple-line code block on chat to make it stand out. Here’s a quick way to do that on your smartphone.
Share Single Line Codes
- Open the Discord app on your phone.
- Navigate to a Server’s chat room and start typing.
- Now, add the (
) sign before and after the text, for example:Hello`. - Tap the send button and the text will be converted to a code text and will appear as one in the chat.
Share Multiple Line Codes
If you have a long code with multiple lines then you can send that in code format too. It works similarly to the above method, with a slight difference, instead of using one (), you need to add three () at the beginning and after the end of the multiple-line codes.
For example:
“class HelloWorld {public static void main(String[] args) {System.out.println(“Hello, World!”);}}“
Use Code Blocks on Discord from PC
For desktop clients, the Code blocks feature works the same way as it does on the mobile app. You need to follow the same typing rules with the (`) sign on the desktop client to get code texts in chat. Here are some screenshots from the Discord desktop client to show you how it works.
