It's probably a stretch to call it Markdown, but Discord supports a Syntax for adding timestamps which is useful. It would be nice if it could be added to "Additional Syntax Elements".

Hiya!

As others say on Discord's Official Forum, Discord as of today, supports an oversimplified, some sort of markdown, which only consists of basic highlighting of text, code blocks and as you mentioned, these cool timestamps. What I wanna say with this is that Discord only supports a subset of Markdown and they aren't planning to add tables or list element support in the near future. I personally would not count Discord's basic text formatting as Markdown support.

While Markdown is not so standardized, as I can understand it, contains a documentation to the most supported features and most used syntaxes of Markdown and the timestamps, which are only supported by Discord and no one else does not count as widely supported.

However I find them very interesting and cool as they could be dynamic and they use Unix timestamps, but I don't think that this should be added to The Markdown Guide.

Best regards
