GoKawiilDiscord update renders Markdown file previews with formatting instead of raw symbols
Discord shipped an update that renders uploaded .md files with proper formatting, including tables, rather than showing raw symbols. The same release adds a 'Move to...' option for organizing servers and channels via right-click, and raises the file upload limit for Nitro subscribers to 1GB.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Readable Markdown previews could make it easier for developers and AI enthusiasts to share README files and project documentation, since Markdown is commonly used for LLM and AI agent instructions. The move also follows Google's recent addition of native Markdown editing in Docs, suggesting wider platform support for the format is becoming more common.
