Nitpicky / dumb question about BB codes


Website Feedback


Hey, I'm in a few PBP games now in the Paizo campaign threads, and one thing I've noticed is that other player's rolls seem to format with their description for the roll in the same green text as the roll (as in Mavro's tag here.

What do I append/how do I alter the BBC dice command to get the roll to duplicate that? I've looked both in the FAQ and in the 'How to Format Your Text' bit and I'm not seeing it. Possibly I am blind. Or are players just manually changing the color and bolding the text of those descriptive bits?

<dice=Your Label Text Here>1d20 + 3</dice> (swap angle brackets for square brackets):
Your Label Text Here: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14


Wondering if this will suit: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Looks like they're using the title function to add text, like you can with quotes. If you press reply on a post, you'll be able to see the code that's used in that post.


Cool, thank you Vic and Heros! That is indeed what I was looking for. Is that officially in the FAQ/support text anywhere, and I just missed it, or do you gotta be a cool kid to know? ;)


Wow, when was this changed? I like it. :)

Huh, I thought we'd updated the "how to format your text" thing when we added the labeled dice rolls. We'll add that to the todo list.


That's awesome, I didn't know you could do that.
