Forums » Suggestions & Development Discussion » Stat Block BBC Code?

From the PBP TTRPG post, is it possible to add an html BBC code for a stat block in forum/PM posts? I've seen it elsewhere so don't know how hard it'd be to implement or not. It would just create a small box area where a person could put relevant info for some of the TTRPG games. I can pull up examples, if that helps?

Edit: I meant BBC code.

Enabling HTML in forum posts is probably never going to happen, as it opens up a very exciting suite of possibilities for bad actors. That's why BBCode exists, after all - to allow people to format things without any safety risks.

Unless you're thinking of something like the dice rolling feature, maybe? Hm.

I think I'd mess around with the image align code (though perfect/neat alignment depends on no one having turned on the setting to prevent gifs from autoplaying, unfortunately), or perhaps the column and list codes, depending on the amount of info being asked for in each post.

I meant BBC code, I'm just computer illiterate >.<

I think examples of what you mean may indeed be helpful. I think many of us are still interpreting what you're describing differently from each other.

On a different site, they have an [OOC] tag which does this purpose. It ends up making the top of a post look like the below;



I thought something like that might be really helpful for TTRPG players, since you could put important traits like AC or whatnot right there where the DM or others who need to know it can see it. It'd reduce the need to backcheck sheets as much. The screenshot is from a site called rpgpad, but a similar function was enabled on another site I used to play on (since closed) where it as [stats] instead of [OOC].
