Some special characters don't work when linked, e.g. colons, so link the text around it instead
For URLs to this site: they don't need to be prefixed with https://www.speedrun.com , since all URLs that start with a slash / link to the current domain

The URL's scheme can be something other than http(s) e.g. mailto or tel
Anchors on their own work, but open in a new tab
Most text that is prefixed with www or http(s):// will become a link, e.g. www-i-am-a-link

⁕ Like this - use an asterisk with a space afterwards

@YUMmy_Bacon5YUMmy_Bacon5
@ then a username
Capitalisation matters, and some usernames don't work, e.g. @killerkunkillerkun..., so just link them instead

Certain punctuation before and after the username stops it from formatting, so just put a space between it and the punctuation. e.g. (@YUMmy_Bacon5) to ( @YUMmy_Bacon5YUMmy_Bacon5 )

This does not notify the user

If you don't put a value for the equals, then you won't be able to edit your forum post

: [​flag:gb]
: [​flag:gb/eng/som]
[​flag​:countrycode]

All flags that are on this site are supported - more than the above
To view a flag's countrycode: Open the flag's image, view the URL after /flags/ and that is what should be put

Flags without a valid countrycode do not appear at all

Some emojis and emoticons format into images to look like Discord emojis

YouTube, Twitch, BiliBili, Niconico and images ending in a common file extension are all supported

For one of these to embed, just paste the link on its own
To embed an image: upload it onto a file hosting service, e.g. Imgur or in a Discord channel, then copy the image's URL and paste it

YouTube and Twitch both support their video starting at a certain time e.g. "Copy video URL at current time" on YT
Run and news comments don't support embeds

In most text inputs

• SRC formatting: Forum posts, messages, news posts, run and news comments, run descriptions, and guides
• react-markdown: Game Leaderboards' run notes and rules, and messages beta

• Text with an unclosed BBCode tag or nothing after the equals makes you be unable to edit your forum post
• Too may "quote"s or "big" tags makes the text larger than it's intended area e.g. This and this
• 497 unclosed "centre" BBCode tags in a forum post makes the edit box appear for all logged in users - even when it isn't their post e.g. This

• Text does not need to be on a new line after the end of BBCode tags
• Game news, although only accessible when you're a mod, has a preview button so you can get an idea of your formatted text
• Run and news comments do not support media embeds, formatted emojis and emotes
