Readme
Preferences
You can set your preferences by going to Tools > Add-ons > BNet Squelcher > Options.
Use ExtendedBML - Check this if you want to enable ExtendedBML (aka exBML). ExtendedBML is an extension to Blizzard Markup Language. For more information, check the ExtendedBML section below.
Gracefully degrade exBML - Check this to set your default option. This can be overridden on a per-post basis at any time. This feature downgrades certain exBML into a form that makes sense for non-BNet Squelcher users and at the same time can be re-upgraded into its original form for BNet Squelcher users.
Auto-link URLs - Automatically detects a URL within a post and makes it clickable.
Auto embed images - Automatically detects images from detected links that end in an image extension (.png, .jpg, .gif) within a post and displays the image.
Add usernames to quotes - Adds the name of the person you're quoting to the quote tags automatically.
Load Custom Avatars - Many people have custom avatars. Have a look! Request an avatar!
Disable link interceptor - Disables Blizzard's Forum link interceptor.
Reorder page titles to show thread subject first - Changes the name of the post titles from "Battle.net - <language> Forums -> <thread subject>" to <thread subject> <- Battle.net <language> Forums". This allows for easier navigation between tabs.
Strip signatures - Removes the signature field from all posts.
Disable autocomplete for the CAPTCHA - (passive) Removes the autocomplete function of the browser in the CAPTCHA field.
Enable Debug Mode - (hidden) Enables debug mode for previewing degraded exBML. Simply add `"&debug=1"` after the post query page (the page after clicking "New Topic", "Quote", or "Reply") and go to the new URL. Then, hover over the "Preview" button to see what the post would look like with degraded exBML.

ExtendedBML
Items wrapped in ((double parentheses)) indicate optional parameters. The exBML parser is extremely forgiving, so you are generally safe using the syntax you have already learned for other forums.
