Any way to escape clause brackets to post instructions on how to format things?


Website Feedback


IE: If I want my players to use a specific format in their character profile like this :

{spoiler=Stats}HP : 55 | Fort +5 / Refl +8 / Will +3 | Init +4 | CMB/CMD 5/18 | AC/Flat/Touch 19/15/14{/spoiler}

I'd like to be able to put that in with ['s and ]'s but if I do it actually creates a spoiler. Is there any way to tell the forum to 'ignore this bracketed command and just display it'?


None of the BBCode escape codes work on this site.

Heck, even the underline code doesn't work.

We don't currently have a [code] style bb tag for folks to use, but I understand the value in having something like that. I've added it to our wishlist backlog to take a look at when we have time.

Here is the work around that I always use:

[dice=Formatting Work Around]1d2+7[/dice]

Which turns into:

Formatting Work Around: 1d2 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The secret is adding extra [b] codes to interrupt the [ ] formatting expressions. If you want to see what I am doing in this post, hit reply and you can see my coding for yourself.
