Features

The Discourse BBCode plugin pulls in much of the BBCode syntax into Discourse.

Out-of-the-box: Discourse already supports [i], [b], [s], [u], [quote], [url], [email] and [code], this plugin fills in some more of the gaps to provide a more “BBCode” ™ experience.

It supports two types of constructs.

Multiline constructs, which encompass a block. Multiline constructs must never start or end in the middle of a line.

Oh, man.
Half a day wasted creating this… And I was looking for a realization… and found nothing worthwhile!
Thank you!

The auth if call outs was mentioning sometime creating a plugin. So maybe the 2 can be made to give a path to TC(client side) and the Plugin (server side)

I believe your plugin will be more friendly with things like print to PDF

Your plugin for example takes consideration for light/dark.

If this plugin can be used for abuse as advised, it would make sense to allow its usage to be restricted by category or by user level. Currently no such ability exists in the plugin.

I could be wrong but I’d say in most cases users hiding text for malicious reasons is a rare occurrence and the warning serves as a caveat of ‘what could happen’.

If this is something that you are worried about you could create a Feature request or use watched words to catch people typing [colour][/color] for example.

The watched word idea is a good one.

on last update i have this problem with BBCode

when edit one old topic
”No parser processed bbcode_open token for tag: span, attrs: [[“style”,“color:#d71d1d”]]”

This is happening because it’s defaulting to the new editor: Choosing the default composer mode for your community, which does not support this kind of content yet.

You can close this message and switch to the Markdown editor via the toggle at the left of the toolbar, or by hitting CTRL M , and things should work as usual.
