The latest version of the Microblog plugin includes a new and updated text editor. Read which content types are supported.
Write a micropost
We introduce a brand new editor with Microblog 5.0. Use it to share information and style your microposts.
Input your text, links etc. into the editor, choose a topic and click on the Post it button.
Choose a topic for your micropost
To publish a micropost, you have to choose a microblog topic.
In most cases, a suggested topic is preselected.
Change the topic after publication
NEW IN 6.0
Now, you can change the topic of your micropost after you have published it. To do so, click on the 
three-dots button and then on the Edit button.
At the top of your micropost, select a new topic. Finally, click on the Post it button to publish your changes.
Reply to a micropost
To reply to a micropost works like to write a new micropost.
Click on the Reply button or just type your answer into the input field below a micropost. The editor always shows up directly under the post you refer to. You don't have to scroll through all text context.
You can also reply to other comments. Currently all replies are displayed under the top-level post.

Displayable content types
Displayable content types can't be used actively. Currently, there is no option to apply those styles when writing a micropost. Displayable means that the styling will show when you insert text with such styling from other sources.
Date macro
The Microblog editor will display the content of the date macro as plain text.
→ 15 Oct 2019
Panel macro
The Microblog editor will only display the content of the panel macro. Styling like for hyperlinks will be applied. Background color, borders etc. won't be displayed.

Status macro
The Microblog editor will display the text content of the status macro in bold, but not preserve the styling of the button.
→ DONE
