Syntax

$description[text;(embedIndex)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
text	The text of the description. Supports Discord markdown, line breaks, emojis, and interpolation of BDFD functions/variables.
embedIndex	Optional. Index of the targeted embed, from 1 to 10 (1 by default, also when empty). Any other value is an error.

Return value

This function returns nothing; it modifies the response currently being constructed. The pending embed is emitted automatically at the end of the script as the response; $sendMessage[text] does not send it, it posts a separate channel message and leaves the pending response untouched. See Execution model.

Behavior

• $description[] is a response mutation.
• The description is the core of the embed’s content: this is where you place the bulk of your text.
• Maximum length: 4096 characters; a longer text is an error (“Embed text cannot exceed 4096 characters.”). The total text of all the embeds is limited to 6000 characters.
• If the text is empty, the description will not be displayed.

• To structure complex information, combine $description[] with $addField[].
