Hi,

I can't use markdown in XenForo! how can I do it, for example, I have this Markdown code :

This text can be **embedded** into Markdown:

<i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin fa-lg"></i> Refresh Page

how can I show it in XenForo?

Activate 1th the option to get it work.

Admin CP -> Setup -> Options -> Messages

Find: Convert Markdown-style content to BB code

Then: Put check mark next to it to activate the markdown option through you xenforo community.

Although we're only supporting this kind of advanced option syntax on the IMG and ATTACH BB codes right now, it is a general concept that other developers could add to their own BB codes going forward.

Is there an easy way to enable this for custom BB codes?

As it is, it looks like I would need to extend XF\BbCode\RuleSet to override some method and somehow set my custom tag rules much like that of IMG :

        $this->addTag('img', [
            'supportOptionKeys' => RuleSet::OPTION_KEYS_ONLY,
            'plain' => true,
            'stopSmilies' => true,
            'stopAutoLink' => true
        ]);
