It would be really nice to be able to exclude user-made messages from BBCode.

For example:

A message with [b]BBCode[/b] and an [esc][b]escaped message[/b][/esc].

would output:

A message with BBCode and an [b]escaped message[/b].

Just an example, maybe it can be done differently.

rexBBCodeText : Add escape tags. Tags between [esc] ... [/esc] or [raw] ... [/raw] will be treated as content.

• [esc][color=yellow]Text[/color][/esc]
• [esc][raw]Text[/raw][/esc]
• [raw][esc]Text[/esc][/raw]
• [raw][b]Text[/b][/raw]

This is perfect, thank you!

[robinheidrich]

@rexrainbow Would it also be possible for escaping to stop only at the last [/esc] or [/raw]? Otherwise user-made messages could also contain [/esc] and stop escaping.

As an example: I use [esc]${message}[/esc] and the message contains [/esc] whereupon escaping stops and BBCode is formatted again.

[rexrainbow]

Don't have plan for this feature.

You might use [raw]${message}[/raw] to escape content, and left [esc], [/esc] tags for user.

[rexrainbow]

Let me explain more detail. BBCodeText class will parse content from start. It can't know tags after current tag. Thus I can't determinate current [/esc] is last [/esc] or not.

[robinheidrich]

That's a shame, then I guess I'll have to block [ and ] in general for user-made messages.

If this is ever planned, it would be very helpful especially for this BBCode tag!

I tried to implement escape by adding ~ before ], like [b~]....[/b~]. It worked well excepted text-typing, text-paging, and text-scrolling. Thus I did not use this solution.
