Pasting monospace styled text into these Alfred Forums using Rich Text snippet - not working?

• Alfred 5.0.5 (2096)
• macOS 13.0.1

 

I like to insert inline styled monospace text sometimes in forum posts. This rich text editor doesn't have a built in formatter for that (I think?). But, I know if copy/pasted, it can be done. So I thought I'd make use of a RichText snippet to easily insert a template. But, it isn't working.

 

I copied some styled text from the forum, e.g. from this post:

 

And added it to my snippet:

 

But, when pasted, it appears as simply:

 

Is there some trick for making this work, or am I barking up a dead tree?

It’s the Aa at the top right.

 

This is working for me with that exact text copied. Though note if what you want is to paste inline code to the forum, Markdown Transform does that. Or you can have the snippet paste (in plain text):

 

foo [background=#eee][font=courier,monospace]BAR[/font][/background] baz

@vitor What I meant was, the richtext editor here on the Alfred forums...this

 

Also, switching the snippet to plaintext and inserting the marked-up flavor you gave just results in:

 

foo  BAR  baz

Oh, I see... after submitting the reply, the forum converts it. Neat, if not a bit confusing 🙃

If you do a post preview (rightmost icon), you’ll also see it. If I recall correctly, I checked the BBCode syntax and played with it until I arrived at a style I was happy with (that one). It’s similar to HTML but with square brackets instead of chevrons.
