CurseForge supports WikiCreole, Markdown, Safe HTML and BBCode.

Youtube video

<<youtube video_code_here>>

Your video code is everything that comes after the v= in your youtube url. For example, say your url is youtube.com/watch?v= 1XNTjVScm_8. You would type the following:

<<youtube 1XNTjVScm_8>> →

Vimeo video

<<vimeo 4202002>> →

Font size

<<size 200%>>Hello<</size>> → Hello

<<size 24px>>Hello<</size>> → Hello

Font color

Please don't abuse this. Egregious use of colors may make us re-evaluate having this at all. Also, be aware of changing background colors. Green on black might look nice, but but Green on white might not.

<<color red>>It's red!<</color>> → It's red!

<<color 00f>>It's blue!<</color>> → It's blue!

<<color 00ff00>>It's green!<</color>> → It's green!

<<color #ffff00>>It's yellow!<</color>> → It's yellow!

Quotes

<<quote>>Hello there<</quote>> →

Quote:

Hello there

<<quote Some random guy>>How was **your** day?<</quote>> →

Quote from Some random guy:

How was your day?

print("This is a test paste")

if true then
    return "Isn't it awesome?"
end

Emotes

Note: Since unexpected emotes can mess up lines of code, all emotes must have whitespace surrounding them to turn into a graphical version.

BBCode

The following BBCode tags are supported:

[b]

Bold

[i]

Italic

[s]

strikethrough

[link]

A hyper link

[url]

a url

[quote]

quoting

[img]

displays an image

[list]

opens a list

[*]

a item in a list

[code]

a preformatted code block

[paste]1234[/paste]

show a paste from paste.SkyrimForge.com

Note: Our BBCode implementation is a thin wrapper around WikiCreole. The BBCode tags are converted to WikiCreole, and then that parser is used.

• a

Note: All tags and attributes must be lowercase. Uppercase is not supported.

Markdown

Another lightweight markup language. See http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ for more details.

Plain Text

Just what it sounds like. This simply escapes characters, urlizes links, replaces newlines with a br tag and wraps paragraphs with p tags.
