bbCode for Web Extensions (bbCodeWebEx) — Matthew G. Saroff

This is intended to be as close as possible to the functionality of BBCodeXtra, which was not migrated to Quantum.

There is only 1 top level menu because of the limitations of Webextensions, with what were the top level menus below it.

The latest version adds a symbol submenu, and the ability to work with rich text elements on https:// pages.

Update, April 19, 2021:
Corrected errors in localizations.

Update, December 4, 2020:
Fixed the Google Fix, Which Broke on Other Websites

Blogspot, and Google, are honking me off now.


Update, November 29, 2020:
I have updated bbCodeWebEx to address changes in Google's updated Blogspot Editor that occurred in October.
I have also added the following:

• Reduced the scope of the context menu, so that it will only show up where it can do something.

Update, 8 July, 2022:
I am planning to add the Ruble symbol "₽" (Dec: 8381; Hex: 20BD HTML: ₽) and the diameter symbol "⌀" (Dec: 8960; Hex: 2300 HTML: ⌀) in the near future, but first I have to determine if the move to Manifest V3 will require a rewrite.

If you want any symbols added, please post them to me in the reviews or on the support page. Note that it has to be Unicode/UT 8, and I want a description in English, along with the decimal, hexadecimal, and HTML codes if you can.

Note that the discussion board uses an insecure connection, HTTP instead of HTTPS, because it the host charges for the latter.
