# discourse-bbcode-color

A Discourse Plugin to enhance the Markdown composer with support for BBCode color tags

Official Plugin Topic & Documentation: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-bbcode-color/65363

# Usage

In your posts, surround text with `[color=...]` and `[/color]`. Color values are those supported by HTML, like `red` and `#ff000`. For example:

```
Look at my [color=red]red words[/color] and be amazed! Also, [color=#33ff33]green is cool[/color] too.

Works for background colors too!  This is your [bgcolor=yellow]typical yellow highlight[/bgcolor], and [bgcolor=blue] [color=white]you can mix em[/color] [color=red]up, you know?[/color][/bgcolor]
```

# Installation

- Add the plugin's repo url to your container's yml config file

```yml
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-bbcode-color.git
```

- Rebuild the container

```shell
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
```

- Re-render all posts now that the plugin is installed. This won't create any extra revisions.

```shell
rake posts:rebake
```
