Quote in a text chain on Discord

To apply quote formatting to a specific piece of text in your text paragraph, use Discord’s backtick option.

Start by launching Discord on your device and find the text you want to quote.

Place the cursor at the beginning of the text to quote.

On your keyboard, press the backtick key to have a backtick symbol (`) added before the text. This key has a tilde sign (~) and is just above the Tab key on most keyboards.

If you’re on a mobile device, go to the symbols menu on your keyboard and tap the backtick sign.

After adding a backtick at the beginning of your text, place your cursor at the end of your text and add a backtick.

Right away, you’ll notice that Discord has formatted the text inside your backticks into quotes format.

You can now send your message as usual and the recipient will see the quote format. Enjoy!

Discord will apply quote formatting to the text to the right of the preceding character.

You can add more text to your quote block and it will use that formatting. When you’re done, send the message as usual.

And this is how you can quote a piece of text in your messages on the Discord platform.
