# Discord Formatting & Timestamp Cheat Sheet
A quick reference guide for Discord markdown, text styles, and dynamic timestamps.
## 1. Basic Formatting
- **Bold**: `**text**` -> **text**
- *Italic*: `*text*` -> *text*
- ~~Strikethrough~~: `~~text~~` -> ~~text~~
- `Code`: `` `text` `` -> `text`
## 2. Dynamic Timestamps (Unix)
Discord uses Unix timestamps to show local time for every user.
Instead of calculating these manually, use a generator.
- **Syntax**: `<t:1735689600:R>`
- **Result**: "in 2 hours" (Adapts to user's timezone)
