HTML support
Scratch should support more modern elements of HTML, like <b> and <img> tags so people wanting to learn HTML that know the Scratch format codes are going to have no trouble learning HTML.
Because I think [b] and [u] are a bit misleading...
(and why is Scratch using deprecated pair tags?)
Thank you!
The Scratch Team (and fellow scratchers!) is/are so nice!!!

Re: HTML support
Someone shouldn't be mislead by BBcode. Anyone learning HTML knows those tags as the BASICS. We wouldn't change them, because people are already completely used to the tags on not only these forums, but also nearly every other forum by every other forum system.

We could just add it onto Scratch, with the old Bbcodes.

There is no point, though. The current BBCode works, and it is mostly universal. It also doesn't require the Scratch Team spending a long time reprogramming the BBCode parser (I have made modifications to the FluxBB parser, and it is pretty hard) just to let people learn HTML. If you want to learn HTML, there are many better places to do so.

Re: HTML support
how are [b] and [u] deprecated or misleading? bbcode is a completely separate language from html and this is made clear by the different shapes ([] vs <>) and the differences in tags ([url]vs. <a>, [color] vs. <span style="color:">, etc.)

ok thank you.
bbcode is kinda deprecated in html, if you know html.

^^^ This exactly. What I was going to say.
This also applies to normal programming languages too. I guess Scratch must be misleading because
set [x v] to [0]doesn't look like
Code:
x = 0
I'm pretty sure anyone who understands Scratch will have no problem learning HTML anyways. It's not hard at all, it just requires practice and getting used to.
