Is there a list of separator tags in a help file somewhere?

I have discovered the following separator tags on my own:

[spoil#r=Text][/spoiler]
[qu#te=person][/quote]
[o#c][/ooc]

I am hoping there are more. Especially the [gm][/gm] tag (or something like it; I have tried gm but it doesn't seem to be a valid tag.) I formerly used that tag VERY frequently on ENWorld, and I was hoping that it existed here as well. It puts the text in a blue-green colored box, so that it stands out very easily from the rest of the post. Also, I am used to OOC doing that, except in a medium-gray colored box. Being able to separate things is very useful for writing clean, efficient posts.

Right now, I am using the quote tag to separate things the way I used to use the GM tag.
The DM says:

But I don't think this looks as elegant. And it needs to have a darker-colored background to help it stand out.
If nothing like these exist, would it be possible to submit them as a suggested site feature?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I think you're gonna get a lot of use out of this thread.

I certainly hope so! 😂 I have been reading old help posts, and I have so far discovered the "snippet" tag which I like, because it's a spoiler with a colored background. I also learned that the Windows Key + (.) = emoji selection. (Win11 only.) But I hope that responses to this thread will be quick and comprehensive, so that I won't have to keep digging blindly through the help files. 😎

I like using borders - you can quickly find them in the formatting menu by pressing F button above the post text field, between linebreak and dropper.
And linebreak itself - [*linebreak] - is good to separate parts of text as well.
Although maybe not necessarily what you're looking for.
Finally, you can also use formatting tag [*color] with CSS tags to add whatever background colour and borders you want to a block of text, like in the guide linked above.

Is this something like what you were looking for?
You can make yourself a snippet with this code so you will be able to add it to posts easily instead of just copy-pasting each time. Like add this to your sheet:

[snippet="GM Text Formatting"][color=";background-color:#67A893; display: block; padding: 1rem; border: solid 2px #378269;"]Text here.[/color]
[/snippet]

And then when posting, you'll see a dropdown menu of snippets. Just choose the correct one and it'll add the code to the post.
You can customise the colours by changing the hex codes in the tag.
I do recommend reading the guide anyway though, it's relatively short and has a lot of useful stuff. :D

Where? I don't see a link?


Wait, I thought you meant linked in your post. I see now that it was in the previous post. Nevermind. 😎
