Hello! Currently, the default text when you open up the new composer indicates that you can enter Markdown, BBCode or HTML. It certainly seems to work with Markdown and HTML, but with BBCode, for example:
[b]Test[/b]
Perhaps this just means that the rich text editor doesn’t accept BBCode after all, or isn’t meant to that is?
Edit
Well, in playing around with this, I’ve noticed some weird behaviour that can be reproduced on the boards here! The first is that BBCode seems to be interpreted inconsistently…for example:
[b]Bold is not automatically transformed…[/b]
Underline is, however!
The problem is, if you enter some underlined text, then (for example) delete all text from the composer and start typing again, that text will still be underlined. If you switch the new composer on and off quickly, the problem goes away. None of the other BBCode tags that I’ve tried have been interpreted, so I’m not sure if underline working is just a coincidence, or if the composer is meant to support BBCode and is just having some problems.
