-
-[list] is equivalent to [ul] (unordered list).
-
-[ol] can be used instead of [list] to show an ordered list:
-
-<pre>[ol]
- [*] First list element
- [*] Second list element
-[/ol]</pre>
-<ul class="listdecimal" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li> First list element<br></li><li> Second list element</li></ul>
-
-For more options on ordered lists, you can define the style of numeration on [list] argument:
-<pre>[list=1]</pre> : decimal
-
-<pre>[list=i]</pre> : lover case roman
-
-<pre>[list=I]</pre> : upper case roman
-
-<pre>[list=a]</pre> : lover case alphabetic
-
-<pre>[list=A] </pre> : upper case alphabetic

+## Embed
You can embed video, audio and more in a message.
-<pre>[video]url[/video]</pre>
-<pre>[audio]url[/audio]</pre>
-
-Where *url* can be an url to youtube, vimeo, soundcloud, or other sites wich supports oembed or opengraph specifications.
-*url* can be also full url to an ogg file. HTML5 tag will be used to show it.
-
-<pre>[url]*url*[/url]</pre>
-
-If *url* supports oembed or opengraph specifications the embedded object will be shown (eg, documents from scribd).
-Page title with a link to *url* will be shown.
-
-Map
----
-
-<pre>[map]address[/map]</pre>
-<pre>[map=lat,long]</pre>
-
-You can embed maps from coordinates or addresses.
-This require "openstreetmap" addon version 1.3 or newer.
-
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Abstract for longer posts
--------------------------
-
-If you want to spread your post to several third party networks you can
-have the problem that these networks have (for example) a length
-limitation. (Like on Twitter)
-
-Friendica is using a semi intelligent mechanism to generate a fitting
-abstract. But it can be interesting to define an own abstract that will
-only be displayed on the external network. This is done with the
-[abstract]-element. Example:
-
-<pre>[abstract]Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link![/abstract]
-I want to tell you a really boring story that you really never wanted
-to hear.</pre>
-
-Twitter would display the text "Totally interesting! A must-see! Please
-click the link!". On Friendica you would only see the text after "I
-want to tell you a really ..."

+## Map
+
+This requires "openstreetmap" or "Google Maps" addon version 1.3 or newer.
+If the addon isn't activated, the raw coordinates are shown instead.
+
+<table class="bbcodes">
+<tr>
+ <th>BBCode</th>
+ <th>Result</th>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td>[map]address[/map]</td>
+ <td>Embeds a map centered on this address.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td>[map=lat,long]</td>
+ <td>Embeds a map centered on those coordinates.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td>[map]</td>
+ <td>Embeds a map centered on the post's location.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+## Abstract for longer posts
+
+If you want to spread your post to several third party networks you may have the problem that these networks have a length limitation like on Twitter.
+
+Friendica uses a semi-intelligent mechanism to generate a fitting abstract.
+But it can be useful to define a custom abstract that will only be displayed on the external network.
+This is done with the [abstract]-element.
+<table class="bbcodes">
+<tr>
+ <th>BBCode</th>
+ <th>Result</th>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td>[abstract]Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link![/abstract]<br>
+I want to tell you a really boring story that you really never wanted to hear.</td>
+ <td>Twitter would display the text <blockquote>Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link!</blockquote>
+On Friendica you would only see the text after <blockquote>I want to tell you a really ...</blockquote></td>
+</tr>
+</table>
It is even possible to define abstracts for separate networks:
-<pre>
-[abstract]Hi friends Here are my newest pictures![abstract]
-[abstract=twit]Hi my dear Twitter followers. Do you want to see my new
-pictures?[abstract]
-[abstract=apdn]Helly my dear followers on ADN. I made sone new pictures
-that I wanted to share with you.[abstract]
-Today I was in the woods and took some real cool pictures ...
-</pre>
-
-For Twitter and App.net the system will use the defined abstracts. For
-other networks (e.g. when you are using the Statusnet connector) the
-general abstract element will be used.
-
-If you use (for example) the "buffer" connector to post to Facebook or
-Google+ you can use this element to define an abstract for a longer
-blogpost that you don't want to post completely to these networks.
-
-Networks like Facebook or Google+ aren't length limited. For this reason
-the [abstract] element isn't used. Instead you have to name the explicit
-network:
-
-<pre>
-[abstract]These days I had a strange encounter ...[abstract]
-[abstract=goog]Helly my dear Google+ followers. You have to read my
-newest blog post![abstract]
-[abstract=face]Hello my Facebook friends. These days happened something
-really cool.[abstract]
-While taking pictures in the woods I had a really strange encounter ... </pre>
-
-The [abstract] element isn't working with the native OStatus connection
-or with connectors where we post the HTML. (Like Tumblr, Wordpress or
-Pump.io)
-
-Special
--------
-
-If you need to put literal bbcode in a message, [noparse], [nobb] or [pre] are used to escape bbcode:
-
-<pre>[noparse][b]bold[/b][/noparse]</pre> : [b]bold[/b]
+<table class="bbcodes">
+<tr>
+ <th>BBCode</th>
+ <th>Result</th>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td>
+[abstract]Hi friends Here are my newest pictures![/abstract]<br>
+[abstract=twit]Hi my dear Twitter followers. Do you want to see my new
+pictures?[/abstract]<br>
+[abstract=apdn]Helly my dear followers on ADN. I made sone new pictures
+that I wanted to share with you.[/abstract]<br>
+Today I was in the woods and took some real cool pictures ...</td>
+ <td>For Twitter and App.net the system will use the defined abstracts.<br>
+For other networks (e.g. when you are using the "statusnet" connector that is used to post to your GNU Social account) the general abstract element will be used.</td>
+</tr>

+[abstract=goog]Hello my dear Google+ followers. You have to read my newest blog post![/abstract]<br>
+[abstract=face]Hello my Facebook friends. These days happened something really cool.[/abstract]<br>
+While taking pictures in the woods I had a really strange encounter...</td>

+
+The [abstract] element is not working with connectors where we post HTML directly, like Tumblr, Wordpress or Pump.io.
+For the native connections--that is to e.g. Friendica, Hubzilla, Diaspora or GNU Social--the full posting is used and the contacts instance will display the posting as desired.
+
+For postings that are delivered via ActivityPub, the text from the abstract is placed in the summary field.
+On Mastodon this field is used for the content warning.

+ Note: [code] has priority over [noparse], [nobb] and [pre] which makes them display as BBCode tags in code blocks instead of being removed.
+ [code] blocks inside [noparse] will still be converted to a code block.
