I am trying to use user input in a Discord embed and display it (from a slash command). I am able to get the user input and generate the embed, but the format of the text is not looking good. Specifically, when I set the "Content" of the embed using .setDescription(content)
, the text appears in an unappealing format.
I have tried using the \n
character to create new lines, but it is not working. However, I am able to make text bold using **
.
Can you help me understand how I can create new lines in the embed's content?
I get the content directly from the user input:
let content = interaction.options.getString("content")
CodePudding user response:
If you receive the content
using interaction.options.getString("content")
, that \n
is no longer the newline character, more like an escaped backslash "\\"
followed by the letter "n"
.
It means you can replace those with a newline character:
let content = interaction.options
.getString('content')
.replaceAll('\\n', '\n');
// ...
.setDescription(content)
