Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Forum-specific BBCode

Solution: Different forums use custom BBCode tags. [spoiler], [code], etc. may not all be recognized.

⚠️

Losing important context

Solution: [quote=John] loses the attribution. [url] loses the link. Consider if you need this metadata.

⚠️

Nested tags handling

Solution: [b][i]text[/i][/b] should give "text", but broken tools may fail on nested or malformed tags.
