This is the same basic syntax as [[Text Replacement|quest text replacement]]: <code>< | This is the same basic syntax as [[Text Replacement|quest text replacement]]: <code><Tag.Subtag=Parameter></code>, where the "subtag" and "parameter" are optional (and ignored) unless noted above. When an unrecognized tag is encountered, the tag name is displayed in bold, but the subtag name and parameter are thrown away. This means that you can bold any text you want inside of an effect description, but only if that text doesn't contain a period (which denotes a subtag) or an equal sign (which denotes a parameter). For example, <code><Hello, Dragonborn. How are you?></code> will be rendered as "'''Hello, Dragonborn'''" in bold, while <code><Hello, Dragonborn>. <How are you?></code> will be rendered as "'''Hello, Dragonborn'''. '''How are you?'''" Similarly, <code><E = MC squared></code> should be rendered as "'''E '''", while <code><E> = <MC squared></code> should be rendered as "'''E''' = '''MC squared'''". | ||
