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.
