Post directly using HTML codes ?

Post by rafa99 »

Is it possible to post directly using formatted HTML instead of BBCodes ?
If not, are there at least some extensions available ?

I am sure there are some reasons for not allowing html based posting , but could it be made optional ?
Like I can post using either BBC or HTML

Sorry if sound clueless because I am sure it was discussed before but I am trying to find out what the latest status update on this

HTML is not allowed in phpBB and you'll find no extensions for it here on phpBB.com

There was some third party extensions/mods available in the past but be warned they will break those posts if removed. Once you install something like that you need perpetual support for it.

It seems weird but it looks like I can post a Google Docs or Google Sheets or Google drawing & they are shown as embedded files like a YouTube video.
So I can load them & make changes to my Google stuff external to phpBB & that gets updated in my forum post without me even logging into the forum ? LOL
I know it is an awkward way to do it but works if needed

Do you have phpBB Media Embed installed?
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
