Discord supports real Markdown-style structure

Discord documents headings, emphasis, lists, links, block quotes and code in ordinary messages. That makes it a better target for Markdown than many chat apps, but pasted text still needs destination-specific handling.

Keep supported syntax and remove structure that does not fit a message. Small tables become labelled rows, and document-sized headings should be checked at the actual message width.

A copied token can become a real ping

Discord mentions are tied to platform tokens for users, roles and channels. Text copied from logs, templates or generated content can contain strings that resemble those tokens. Treat them as data until the sender deliberately chooses a recipient.

Pasteful changes pasted user, role and channel tokens into readable inactive text. It also removes the active form of everyone and here. Add the real mention in Discord after you have checked the message.

  • User token becomes readable user text
  • Role token becomes readable role text
  • Channel token becomes a channel label
  • Everyone and here become ordinary words
  • Custom emoji tokens keep their readable name

Preview before copying

The Discord preview shows the message on a dark message surface while the Text view shows the exact syntax copied. Use Preview to check appearance and Text when you need to inspect escaping.

For a bot, webhook or application command, use Discord's API requirements and permissions rather than assuming an ordinary composer paste is a valid payload.
