Hi @dekadmin, that’s not a bug.
BBCode is only supported in chat and channel description.
@TS.ChrisR and in the furue it will be supported ?
To be honest we’d like to get rid of the old fashioned feature completely and only support Markdown instead.
The problem is that we still have TS3 setups out there with BBcode so we added a smaller support here.
Not sure what the future brings.

So as you can see in this image, the ts5 client doesn’t support colouring text. I don’t know whether or not this is a bug or intentional just thought I’d report it here on the forum.
Btw the colouring works in ts3

It’s intended behaviour of the client. Coloured text is not supported.

Do you know whether or not there will be support for it? (I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to ts5)

It’s not just color. BBCode in chats are not supported at all.

The whole “two different markup languages” thing is becoming more and more confusing especially since people will probably never move away from BBCode now that the new client “supports” it.
At this point, you may as well just add full BBCode support in the new client and offer Markdown as an alternative for those who prefer simplicity over being backwards compatible with good old TeamSpeak 3.
You could still deprecate BBCode later, but seeing that Markdown is missing things like <center> and colored text this would basically be a step backwards, feature-wise. Existing users are used to having the level of freedom that BBCode provides.
Take a look at Discourse. The forum software running this place actually supports
<b>bold</b>(HTML),[b]bold[/b](BBCode) and**bold**(Markdown)
and users who know either of those markup languages will probably try to use them and realize that they all work (at least partially). That’s maximum usability right there.
So if you are going for usability with the new client, I suggest to take the time to do this properly by supporting at least BBCode and Markdown everywhere a user would expect it to work.
And even if the feature doesn’t make it into the beta right away, I think the final release should have it.

TeamSpeak 5 uses markdown not bbcode

As said above, BBCode is used in a limited way only for compability with TS3 Client, whereas TS5 uses Markdown.
Also, topic was raised few times, please use search function.
Hello, I was wondering if teamspeak 5 supports all bbcode.
Because i uses bbcode a lot and I have some that I am not showing up correctly.
[size] and [color] not working…
TS5 only supports a small amount of BBCode

Correct.
TS5 doesn’t really support all BBcode tags.
You may can take a small look into this as an example:
That’s basically how it’s looking right now.
Anyway… [color] basically works in some ways, as you can see it above.

Hi,
I’d like to suggest adding the old text formatting system as there will be people sticking with ts3 and won’t see well formatted text in Markdown like ts5 the user won’t see BBCode. Lots of bots have been created to send BBcode messages, it looks very nasty on teamspeak 5, in my opinion it would be a good idea to add BBCode to ts5 and Markdown to ts3.
Greetings,

The long term goal is to phase TeamSpeak 3 out of existence and adding in full BB Code support in the new client generation could lead people using the new client to expect it to remain in place indefinitely. The plan is to go forwards, not backwards.
Support for BB code in channel descriptions was added back in because it is widely used by server administrators who are still mainly on version 3 and users of the new client are much more likely to run into BB code formatted channel descriptions than BB code formatted chat messages.
Which normal user even takes the time to format their chat messages with BB code? I consider interactive bots an edge case which was never intended to even be a “thing”.
Therefore, I’d rather try and somehow patch Markdown support into TeamSpeak 3 and possibly even remove support for BB Code altogether in order to force people (including bot creators) to “upgrade” to the new format.
The problem here is that TeamSpeak is already having a hard time to get the new client generation done and I’d be surprised if they actually managed to dig into the ancient code base to somehow force a Markdown parser in there.
Hello Teamspeak community,
I started using my teamspeak client since the integration of the whisper support, because I really needed it on the servers I visit.
When I connect to the servers, there is alway a bot texting me about the current news.
But I noticed, that his formatting is all wrong and I could see the raw BBCode of him.
I researched the forum, but the latest posts I could find were from April '20 and were marked as [Released].
This is why I start this new article to ask for suggestions or help regarding the wrong formatting of BBCodes on private texts.
Is it working for you guys out there?
Is there a setting I messed up?
Or is the feature currently not working properly?
Here is a picture of what I mean: Screenshot by Lightshot
If you could help me out, I would be very greatful!
Tim
It is not necessarily wrong…
BBCode is simply no longer supported by the new client.
Instead markdown should be used.
