# Discord Basics

Basic Formats, Syntax, etc for Discord-side features and options.

# Special IDs

## Backslash Method:

Adding a backslash `\\` in front of a Discord Quicklink (Username, Role, etc) will output the exact syntax for mention / use that name, including that link's UniqueID.

### Backslash Method:

- User: `@nero` -&gt; `\@nero` -&gt; `<@1136595569440202752>` (`<@userID>)`
- Role: `@role` -&gt; `\@role` -&gt; `<@&1128757363898318928>` (`<@&roleID>)`
- Channel: `#channel` -&gt; `\#channel` -&gt; `<#1126708428182659124>` (`<#channelID>`)
- Emoji: 
    - Base [Twemoji](https://twemoji.twitter.com/): `:wave:` -&gt; `\:wave:` -&gt; `�` (prints base emoji, not discord emoji in chat)
    - Custom User Emoji: `:nero:` -&gt; `\:nero:` -&gt; `<:nero:1136364622979539027>` (`<:emote:emoteID>`)
    - Custom Animated Emoji: `:neropeek:` -&gt; `\:neropeak:`-&gt; `<a:NeroPeek:1136478662301069393>`(`<a:emote:emoteID>`)
