` block.
- **inline** : puts the first line of its content within the current the line, and each new line in its own nestable `
` tag.
By default, `hide` and `nsfw` have **block** semantics. The other tags have **inline** semantics by default, unless a line-break is added after the opening tag.

Glad you are showing this plugin here! I remember starring this on GitHub a week or two ago. Other than teaching me a thing or two about Discourse plugins, it also has the ability to be expanded with some extra copying and pasting (for new bbcodes) as I see it.

Glad this taught you a thing or two. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to share it. I learnt from other plugins myself 🙂 .
The second reason is why I designed with extensibility in mind: if people show interest, I’m interested in splitting the core functionality into a standalone. It’s indeed very easy to add a new BBCode. People familiar with JsonML emitters as in the original Discourse Markdown pipeline should have no problem extending it. Before I make it a standalone, it also needs a little more testing and feedback from the community so I that perhaps I can improve it to fit people’s use cases.

Hey @masda70 Thanks, this does look really nice. Though i have a question, can i stack this plugin up with Discourse spoiler alert. I mean on a single instance can i have both discourse spoiler alert as well as Awesome BBCodes installed together, without errors?

Hi Alankrit. This plugin was designed to replace spoiler-alert and the spoiler effect when stacking both is undefined. The spoiler effect of this plugin was specifically tested to properly combine with the other text effects. However I understand the need for a more “modular” approach for adding these effects.
Perhaps what you need is a way to disable certain effects/features of this plugin. I can definitely add do that for a future release.
FYI, if you want to use this plugin, the latest version (0.3.2) is compatible with v1.5.0.beta9, 0.3.1 should work with 1.4.0. (in any case, only auto-complete breaks).

Found a bug. This doesn’t properly blur out the image, but does with the official spoiler plugin:
```plaintext
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
```
This does:
```plaintext
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
```
I would appreciate a way to enable/disable individual BBCodes, we want mainly the color one (…for an in-joke of sorts…), but _don’t_ want the typeface ones or the hide one.

Thanks David, for your reply. a option as of such would really be helpful. So i can stack it up with Discourse spoiler alert. Patiently waiting for this in the future.

Yes, this is a known issue. It’s documented in the README. It’s a compromise that is hardly satisfactory.

Ah, I see, I must have missed that. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly satisfactory with an existing forum, with a large number of spoiler’d images already posted…
Would it be possible to add a way to disable at least the spoiler tag, and keep the other ones active?
(I could fork your plugin and cut it out myself, but it seems like a rather heavy-handed solution…)

Yes I will be working on it. Ideally I would split the plugin into multiple ones, but I depend on this issue:
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/es6-in-server-side-plugin-javascript/27219/2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/es6-in-server-side-plugin-javascript/27219/2)
It’s easy to hard-code disable it, so forking it in the mean-time is a reasonable solution.

It’s now possible (v0.4.0). Note this version is now only compatible with the new plugin api (v0.1).
Also please note that changing any the above settings require a server restart (similar to toggling html table rendering).

@masda70 David thanks for this awesome, BB code plugin. I am using it on my [community](https://discuss.moe)
There is an issue with firefox. Rainbow text doesnt show up. At first i thought this would be my end, but i checked it up with a buddy of mine who uses firefox it is the same.

No text displayed when under `[rainbow]` tag

Hello @Alankrit_Choudh . Thanks for the feedback.
Firefox does not support the `background-clip: text` required by this the `rainbow` tag.
I will update the documentation and provided some graceful degradation for unsupported browsers.
Also, I need to document that it’s now possible to define custom “typeface” tags in the Admin settings, and customize the end result via site CSS customization:
```plaintext
.typefaces-tag.{
// css properties
}
```
