Text Sources Now Support BBcode

You can now use BBcode in your text sources. This includes adding images and changing text size and color and using css styles!

Here’s a table that shows you the supported tags, what they are used for, and examples on how to use them:

TAG	PURPOSE	CODE	RESULT
[b]	Makes text bold	[b]Title[/b] Text	Title Text
[color]	Changes the color of the text You can use either a standard color name or a hexadecimal value.	[color=red]Title[/color] Text	Title Text
[color]		[color=#FF0000]Title[/color] Text	Title Text
[i]	Makes text italic	[i]Title[/i] Text	Title Text
[img]	Shows the image indicated	[img]https://cdn4.xsplit.com/cms/XSplit-logo.svgz[/img]
[size]	Changes the font size of the text. This uses pixels as its unit of measurement.	[size=50]Title[/size] Text	Title Text
[sub]	Changes the text into subscript	[sub]Title[/sub] Text	Title Text
[sup]	Changes the text into superscript	[sup]Title[/sup] Text	Title Text
[style]	Used for detailed CSS styling	[style=styleString]Title[/style] Text	Title Text
	You can also combine tags	[size=50][color=red][b]Title[/b][/color][/size] Text	Title Text

Technical Notes:

• Since the Text source itself has its own styling, you may use any css style but it is not always guaranteed to be shown properly (this includes, but is not limited to: alignment styles and spacing styles)
• When using the underlined or strikethrough Text CSS property, setting the color through BBcode is not reflected on the underline or strikethrough stroke (It follows outline color, which in css, is -webkit-text-stroke-color)
• When used together with the fade effect, please use unusual characters in HTML, for example, “||” (double pipes, without the quotes) as your delimiter, so that you don’t split in-between the tags. Also, please do not place delimiters anywhere between an opening and a closing tag because doing so will only result in the BBcode being applied to the the first fade segment enclosed in the tag.
• Text source settings such as outline thickness and alignment are computed based on the original font-size. These are some of its consequences:
• Using the size tag with a relatively smaller value than the computed one and placing a line break, will make it seem that multiple line breaks are present, but it is actually only a single line break with the original font-size
• Using the size tag with a relatively smaller value than the computed one and adjusting the alignment properties through the align buttons may show limited and unexpected changes.
• BBcodes may also be used with custom scripts (such as Load Text from File).
