The Discourse BBCode plugin enhances the Markdown composer [1] with support for the BBCode syntax beyond what is included by default (i.e. [i], [b], [s], [u], [quote], [url], [email] and [code]) to provide a more “BBCode” ™ experience.

This plugin is not built for the rich text mode of the composer, so you may need to use the
toggle to switch to Markdown mode when using these codes. If your community relies on this plugin, you can update the default_composition_mode site setting to ensure that members see the Markdown mode of the composer by default. ↩︎
