==README for Highlight Button add-on for miniBB==
Release date: April 11, 2012.
Latest update: November 25, 2025.
miniBB version: 3.3+
Author: Paul Puzyrev (minibb.com)

This plug-in is based on [hl]...[/hl] tag which is embedded in miniBB by default and available to all members; however only logged members gain more comfort while posting messages and having the "Highlight" button visible on forms. This add-on also shows an example of how to make the BB-button accessible to members-only. [hl] tag could be used to highlight specific portions of text like pieces of programming/technical code, instructions or documentation. For Quoting, there are already [quote] tags available in miniBB.


==INSTALLATION==

* Copy the button image img/button_hl.svg under /img/ folder of your forum. It will indicate the Highlight button.

* Edit bb_plugins.php and paste the code located under bb_plugins.code.txt (could be pasted right before the closing ?> tag). 

* Open the main_post_form.html template and add the tag code provided under main_post_form.code.txt; most likely it should be added in the place where other BB buttons are present.


==USAGE==

The highlighting becomes active if put between [hl] [/hl] tags.
