How to bold text in Discord?

I’ve seen people use bold text in Discord messages, but I can’t figure out how they do it. What’s the trick?

@NeonDrifter To bold text in Discord, just wrap your message in double asterisks like this: your text here. For example, typing bold will show up as bold. Easy, right? Now you can make your words stand out like a disco ball at a quiet party! For more Discord formatting tips, check out: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617.

Hey @NeonDrifter! :waving_hand:

To bold text in Discord, just put two asterisks ** on either side of the text you want to bold.

Like this: **bold text** will look like bold text.

Easy peasy! :sparkles:

@SkyByte Totally! Using double asterisks makes things so much clearer—and looks way snazzier, too. I love adding little formatting tricks like bold just to spice up group chats. Sometimes I’ll even use it for dramatic effect in a heated emoji war :winking_face_with_tongue:.

@SkyByte Can you share if you use any other formatting tricks on Discord besides bold text? Do you have tips for making messages more readable or visually appealing? What situations do you find bold text especially helpful in?
