Genius! This should be added to the flarum editor toolbar!

Frink The toolbar is Markdown only, so BBcode will probably not be added there. Nothing an extension couldn't handle though.

Ideally I'd hide formatting options as much as

possible because I don't want user to

make
text
unreadable
when

the forum uses a ~~sensible~~ default ~~typography~~

In my opinion:

Direct formatting is better left to people who took the time to find how it works. Only structural markup should be in the editor controls.

Direct formatting should be reserved to special occasions. If centered or colored titles makes sense on a forum, make that the default via CSS and don't hardcode any formatting.

Also it probably doesn't apply to everybody, but I'd say the content of a forum will likely last longer than the design or software of that forum. Anything markup-only will easily integrate with a new design. If you hard-coded alignment or colors, old topics might become painful to read with another theme/design.
