Formatting posts using markdown, BBCode, and HTML

The style attribute isn鈥檛 allowed in Discourse because it could easily break things.

Also, Discourse has a certain philosophy on how information show be presented in posts, and limits tags and attributes on purpose.

The align attribute on <div> is explicitly allowed here: discourse/allow-lister.js at main 路 discourse/discourse 路 GitHub

If you were to migrate a forum and wanted to keep some special styling like colors, I鈥檇 go with Discourse BBCode and edit the importer if needed :slight_smile:
