How to bold in Discord?

Bold text is used to highlight key points in a document or presentation, or to make text stand out from the surrounding text. When used sparingly, bold text can help draw attention to important information and make complex documents easier to read. It is most commonly used in headings and titles, but it can also be used to highlight key sentences or phrases within a paragraph. When used in body text, bold text should be used sparingly, as too much bold text can be difficult to read. If you are using bold text to highlight key points in your sentences or documents, make sure that the text is still easy to read by using a larger font size or increasing the line spacing. You may also want to use a different color for the bold text to make it stand out even more.

Whether you’re trying to emphasize a point, or just want to add a bit of flair to your message, bolding your text is a great way to do it.

Summary

Adding bold texts to your message adds impact and emphasis on a certain word or sentence. You can used this to highlight the text and capture the readers' attention, may it be your friend or the whole community itself. Be careful in sending whole paragraphs of text that are set in bold text since they are hard to read. The reason bold type creates emphasis is that it slows down the reader and forces the eye to take in the words more carefully. If you slow them down too much, they may just skip over what you have to say. Also note that some bots restrict you from using too much bold text as per their regulations so be careful in using these.
