Question
My message shows as a code block in Discord, but how do I add a straight colored line beside the block?
Unfortunately you can't color single-line code blocks in Discord. Using a block code should work, however.
-
Question
When I use text highlighting, can I add code using the things?
That isn't possible unless you use two code boxes with two color codes.
-
Question
How do I color text on discord?
You can format Discord code blocks to show colored text, you can do ```diff -(text here) ``` to make text red.
-
Question
Is there a way to send embed messages?
Right now, only Discord bots can send embeds. It isn't possible for users to send embeds.

Question
I put a full code for a webpage (HTML) and some stuff is blue, some is yellow while some is red. Why does that happen? Is it pointing out mistakes and such?
This is syntax highlighting. The different colors symbolise different parts of the syntax such as tags, data types, attributes etc. Examples can be found on the highlight.js demo site.
-
Question
Can you actually code anything with this feature? Or is it just to share the lines of code with people?

The feature is primarily for syntax highlighting. Discord is a chat application, not a code editor or IDE. So it's just to share pretty code with others.
