The $description[] function defines the main body (description) of a Discord embed. This is the main text area of the embed, displayed below the title.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
text	The text of the description. Supports Discord markdown, line breaks, emojis, and interpolation of BDFD functions/variables.

Behavior

• $description[] is a response mutation.
