Talk:Scratchpad:Formatting Tags

Why do we have to invent our own formatting codes? Why can't we reuse HTML or BBCodes etc.? I would recommend to use HTML codes and filter the text for a limited allowed set of tags. Also it is not good to reserve single letter keywords for rare used things like yellow or white text. It would be better to write {white} and {yellow}. --M²j 13:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
