[map]address[/map] Embeds a map centered on this address.
[map=lat,long] Embeds a map centered on those coordinates.
[map] Embeds a map centered on the post's location.

Abstract for longer posts

If you want to spread your post to several third party networks you may have the problem that these networks have a length limitation like on Twitter.

Friendica uses a semi-intelligent mechanism to generate a fitting abstract. But it can be useful to define a custom abstract that will only be displayed on the external network. This is done with the [abstract]-element.

BBCode Result
[abstract]Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link![/abstract]
I want to tell you a really boring story that you really never wanted to hear.		 Twitter would display the text
Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link!
On Friendica you would only see the text after
I want to tell you a really ...

It is even possible to define abstracts for separate networks:

BBCode Result
[abstract]Hi friends Here are my newest pictures![/abstract]
[abstract=twit]Hi my dear Twitter followers. Do you want to see my new pictures?[/abstract]
[abstract=apdn]Helly my dear followers on ADN. I made sone new pictures that I wanted to share with you.[/abstract]
Today I was in the woods and took some real cool pictures ...		 For Twitter and App.net the system will use the defined abstracts.
For other networks (e.g. when you are using the "statusnet" connector that is used to post to your GNU Social account) the general abstract element will be used.

If you use (for example) the "buffer" connector to post to Facebook or Google+ you can use this element to define an abstract for a longer blogpost that you don't want to post completely to these networks.

Networks like Facebook or Google+ aren't length limited. For this reason the [abstract] element isn't used. Instead you have to name the explicit network:

BBCode Result
[abstract]These days I had a strange encounter...[/abstract]
[abstract=goog]Hello my dear Google+ followers. You have to read my newest blog post![/abstract]
[abstract=face]Hello my Facebook friends. These days happened something really cool.[/abstract]
While taking pictures in the woods I had a really strange encounter...		 Google and Facebook will show the respective abstracts while the other networks will show the default one.

Meanwhile, Friendica won't show any of the abstracts.

The [abstract] element is not working with connectors where we post HTML directly, like Tumblr, Wordpress or Pump.io. For the native connections--that is to e.g. Friendica, Hubzilla, Diaspora or GNU Social--the full posting is used and the contacts instance will display the posting as desired.

For postings that are delivered via ActivityPub, the text from the abstract is placed in the summary field. On Mastodon this field is used for the content warning.

Special

BBCode Result
If you need to put literal BBCode in a message, [noparse], [nobb] or [pre] blocks prevent BBCode conversion:
  • [noparse][b]bold[/b][/noparse]
  • [nobb][b]bold[/b][/nobb]
  • [pre][b]bold[/b][/pre]
Note: [code] has priority over [noparse], [nobb] and [pre] which makes them display as BBCode tags in code blocks instead of being removed. [code] blocks inside [noparse] will still be converted to a code block. 		[b]bold[/b]
Additionally, [noparse] and [pre] blocks prevent mention and hashtag conversion to links:
  • [noparse]@user@domain.tld #hashtag[/noparse]
  • [pre]@user@domain.tld #hashtag[/pre]
 @user@domain.tld #hashtag
Additionally, [pre] blocks preserve spaces:
  • [pre]      Spaces[/pre]
       Spaces
