Markdown files in Discord now render 'all nice and neat' thanks to a new update

Discord's latest update released today has a big improvement for Markdown previews: they should now render correctly instead of with "a bunch of symbols," according to the company. LLMs and AI agents often rely on Markdown files for instructions and context, so these improved previews could be helpful for people sharing information about AI projects on the platform

"When you upload a Markdown (.md) file, you'll now see the file rendered all nice and neat and pretty instead of with a bunch of symbols," Discord says . "This includes tables, formatting, all that good stuff. Totally great for when you're doing a casual Sunday-night sharing READMEs with your friends."
