Discord is one of the most popular VoIP programs available at the moment. The app lets you hang out with your friends on highly customisable servers and can be tuned to meet whatever you’re thinking of doing.

Discord uses a library called highlight.js to build its interfaces. While the UI doesn’t give you an option to change text colours, you can change the way the text appears when everyone else sees it in their inboxes or servers by writing code in your chatbox.

```fix
Some text here
```
