Remove Claude’s formatting from Discord
Discord discards pasted HTML, so Claude's class names do not survive into a Discord message. What does survive is character-level: zero-width characters, exotic spaces, smart quotes and em dashes. Paste normally. Nothing structural survives, but strip invisible characters anyway.

- Discord messages are plain text with Markdown, so HTML never survives a paste.
- Zero-width characters do, and some servers run bots that flag them as evasion of word filters.
The fastest fix
Paste normally. Nothing structural survives, but strip invisible characters anyway.
There is no markup to remove here, so the characters are the whole problem. Zero-width characters, non-breaking and exotic spaces and smart punctuation are text rather than formatting, which is why they survive a route that strips everything else.
How to check it worked
No source view exists, so check before sending. Editing a message does not remove it from the audit logs some servers keep.
