Now, we need basic text formatting (like underlining, bold, and italics) for quite a few reasons. You might want to make your texts stand out and get noticed, or maybe you just want to make large chunks of text easier to read. Thankfully, Discord makes it quite easy to format your text. 

In this guide, we will show you how to underline text in Discord on PC as well as mobile. In addition to this, we will also show you how you can use underlines in combination with other formatting.

Quick Answer

To underline text in Discord, add two underscores before and after the text you want to underline. For example, __sample text__. The underline will appear after you send the text.

Step

1

Underline using underscores

To underline your text, you will need to surround it with two underscores on each side. Here’s an example of what we mean:

__example text__

This is a piece of __example__ text

When you type this into the message box, it will still have the underscores around the text. However, once you send the message, these will be removed, and only the text that you want to be underlined will be.

Bear in mind that there are two underscores on either side of the text. Using just one will not work to underline the text.

Step

2

Underline with other formatting

In addition to this, you can use the formatting shortcuts together to add more than one style to your text.

For instance, if you want to italicize your text and also underline it, you can do this –

__**example text**__
