How to create redacted text with BBCode

You can use redacted text to give the impression that parts of your article have been censored. Here's how to do it!

 

How to created redacted text

Take a look at this example:

This [redacted:4] is redacted.
This ████ is redacted.
 

The [redacted] tag will generate a number of redacted characters (█) equal to the number you add as an argument.

 

Note that redacted text doesn't generate actual text; it's only meant to give the impression that there's text under the blacked out rectangles.
