I am developing a discourse extension to display [snapblocks](https://snap-blocks.github.io). I was able to add bbcode tags that get replaced with the blocks, unfortunately if you select to quote the blocks, you get the text in the block in a code block instead of the original bbcode tag.

I have tried looking through the source code for the spoiler plugin, but I can’t figure out what it’s doing to allow quoting spoilers.

Is there a way to fix this and add the original block code text inside the custom bbcode tags?

Here’s the source code for my plugin I’m developing.  
[https://github.com/snap-blocks/snapblocks-discourse](https://github.com/snap-blocks/snapblocks-discourse)

Something that really annoys me, is that there is no standard documentation that is easy to go through, which has made developing my plugin a lot harder.
