Hello, fellow Discourse users, admins and whatnot. I’m fairly new to Discourse and I was wondering if Discourse supports something like a rich text editor. If you don’t know what I’m talking about an example can be found here: BB Code Editor I would love for my forum users to be able to format their text, color it, change the size or even be able to embed videos maybe. Is there something like a plugin or addon? Thanks in advance!

You can already embed videos and images by pasting the URL to the image or video on a line by itself. For formatting options, use the editor toolbar or see Markdown Reference

You could try the bbcode plugin https://github.com/discourse/discourse-bbcode It lets you post bbcode tags like [color=#F00]F00[/color] and [bgcolor=#99F]99F[/bgcolor]

Thanks, @Mittineague for the plugin suggestion. Though I really dislike having to use BB Code and all this fancy stuff when there could just be a better editor that allows for all this by clicking buttons. This makes it a lot easier for users to change the formatting and is self-explanatory. Most of my forum users won’t ever know how to properly use BB Code, they do know how to use Word though I suppose and therefore how to click a button to change the font color and size. @codinghorror do you think something like this could be a future feature-implementation? Best regards.

There are many topics here in Meta discussing why a WYSIWYG editor isn’t a planned feature. [Bild]Who would prefer a standard wysiwyg to markdown? Anyway I feel we have said enough on this topic now, time to either build some proof of concept (which will not come from the Discourse team) or start talking about something else :slightly_smiling:

We have been working to make this possible. For anyone who’s interested, do take a look at: Test our new composer! :tada:
