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

Thanks! It’s certainly on the right track, though I was hoping for something I could tweak with CSS so the styles would be familiar to our users from other stuff we do.

There’s a whole tutorial about how to customize posts with custom content like buttons:
Requirements
To be able to use these tips and tricks, you need to be an administrator of either a self-hosted Discourse instance or a Discourse-hosted plan higher than Basic.
Introduction
Discourse supports several methods to format and customize a post’s contents. You can find the list here:
But sometimes, you’ll want something more specific, for example, a link that looks like a button.

I saw that—thank you for writing it!
One question that’s come up—what happens with custom elements in email notifications?

Great question

I guess that the HTML generated with wraps won’t bring their style with them via email.

Good to know, thanks. It degrades well, but the text will have to be careful not to refer to it as a button, say.
