This instruction set is for people who code regularly and also uses the discord app.

This will teach you how to send text and then format it into any coding language you like.

Select the chat box to open your keyboard and begin typing.

The method of typing a back-tick varies between operating systems and keyboards If you want to format a block of code, skip to step 8.

Warning: Finding the back-tick on certain keyboard can require several button selects to get to the correct page.

Enter the text that you will be converting into code later.

After entering the text, add a back-tick at the very end.

Select the send icon.

If you want to set a specific coding language, type in the name of the coding language directly after typing in the three back-ticks, then create a new line.

The following coding languages work on Discord: markdown, ruby, python, perl, css, json, java, javascript, cpp (C++), php.

Simply paste (if you copied the text) or enter the text manually.
