For the occasional post in our forum, I’d like to create a button that would, for instance, make it obvious what to click to register for a race, sign up to volunteer, or donate for a fundraising campaign. Just something that looks roughly like one of these:

 ![Arc 2023-07-16 at 13.53.38@2x](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/4/7/5/47502ffaea24325379af25d183d6ed890e4cd8ec.png)

If Discourse would take it (which it doesn’t seem to), I’d use something like this code.

```plaintext
<span style="display: inline-block; background-color: #7b38d8; padding: 20px; width: 200px; color: #ffffff; text-align: center;">
  Button
</span>

```

Is there a way to do something like this on an ad hoc, individual post basis?

Thank you!
