How to Enlarge Message Text
On Discord, you can make the message font size larger by inserting # and a half-width space at the beginning of the line. This kind of format is called Markdown syntax, and it’s used by many web services.
With this feature, you can easily adjust text size. The size changes as you increase the number of # like this:
#: The largest text##: The second largest text###: Slightly larger text
For example, type the following:
# This is the largest text## This is the second largest text### This is slightly larger textIf you want to make text large across multiple lines, add # at the beginning of each line as follows.
# This is the largest text# This is also the largest textHow Not to Enlarge Text with #

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.
I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
