    I have been coding in HTML 5 for a while now and thought:
    How cool would it be if we had buttons on Pokecommunity?
    And I thought about it a lot (mostly how I could use it) ...
    So here it is:
    Adding the button
    You would just put the text you would like the button to have inside
    Code:
    [PLAIN][button]text[/button][/PLAIN]
    Styling the button
    It would be like
    Code:
    [PLAIN][button=(STYLE HERE)]text[/button][/PLAIN]
    Thanks in advance
     
    Besides the semantics of HTML5, why do you need a button? You can use something like [div="css"] to style something like a button if you like. It's not like you can add a click action anyways.

    It would be cool if some posts that had links in them had a button instead of just a link...

    You could do the click action for links like this:
    [url=pokecommunity.com][Button]Go to pokecommunity![/button][/url]
     
    While I as a web designer totally understand the reason behind semantic markup in HTML, BBCode isn't that. It's a lightweight simplified form for formatting posts, which is why it lacks many features that are taken for granted in HTML. Adding tags that have no purpose in a simple static language like BBCode solely to replicate the semantics of HTML isn't worth it.

    If you want something that looks like a button, nothing's stopping you from either styling it yourself with [div] or using [class] with Bootstrap classes, e.g., [class="btn btn-primary"].
