Hello Is there a way to add custom tag that would be replaced by custom javascript and HTML tags ? Example, <my_custom_tag>custom tag content</my_custom_tag> that would be replaced by html tags that I can define, is there a way to do so?

Have you a practical example of what would you to be the result, based on your example <my_custom_tag>custom tag content</my_custom_tag>? And what would be the goal (in terms of features) of such “custom tags”?

For example, I am thinking to embed a clickable image into forum for discussion, that will open a specific URL in a new tab when users click at, also image glow when mouser over. So, ex: <custom_tag>432345</custom_tag> then be replaced with the html template to show the related image with required …

Sounds a lot like Mentionables (Which at the time of writing is broken on the front end. I will fix it very soon. I recently PR’d to fix the BE)
