"acronym" BBCode does not work as advertised

Post by gnombat »

If I try inserting an acronym using the exact example provided in the acronym button tooltip, it doesn't work (it just inserts raw BBCode):

[acronym=Acronym's Meaning]AM[/acronym]

If I try inserting it without the apostrophe character, it works:

AM

This is something we cannot trivially fix without opening us up to malicious uses of the tag, unfortunately.

At least change the example when you hover over the Full Editor button to not include the apostrophe.
