Does anyone know the syntax for a +1 weapon or armor?

I tried [magicitem]+1 sword;longsword[/ magicitem] (without the space) and it would not work. I'm trying to reference a magic item in a creature's statblock

Is there a list of formatting guidelines (text size, bold, underline,) etc. to have your homebrew match published materials?

D&D Beyond offers the ability to link certain aspects on the forum in mouse-over triggered tooltips, such as magic items, monsters or combat actions - examples being Adult Black Dragon and dash.  To create tooltips in this way as these, use the appropriate [tag][/tag] around the desired subject.

Example: [ magicitem]sunblade[/ magicitem]   (Without spaces within the [ ] brackets.)

Use the following within the [ ][/ ] bracket system:
action - an action taken in combat - e.g. dodge, search and ready
condition - a condition afflicted upon a creature - e.g. restrained, poisoned and prone
item - a mundane item - e.g. torch, trident and backpack
magicItem - a magical item - e.g. Bag of Holding, Dust of Disappearance and Demon Armor
monster - a creature you can encounter - e.g. Banshee, Bandit and Unicorn
sense - a type of extra sense, whether magical or natural - e.g. darkvision, tremorsense and truesight
skill - this is used for professions - e.g. Persuasion, Stealth
spell - a magical spell - e.g.  Mage Hand, Magic Missile and Abi-Dalzim’s Horrid Wilting
wprop - a property of a weapon - e.g. finesse, versatile and heavy

Note: These can also be added to homebrew content. In homebrew content, these tooltips function when viewing them in the homebrew lists (public homebrew/your collection), but do not function in the character viewer. If you create an item with a tooltip to Magic Missile, the tooltip will not be active in the character viewer. 

i found those too if it's of any help

{{ classlevel}}                                <- shows your actual class level 
{{ classlevel*5#unsigned}}         <- shows your actual class level * 5
{{ savedc:int}}                               <- shows your actual intelligence save DC
{{ spellattack:int}}                        <- shows your intelligence spell attack bonus

(Without spaces within the {{ }}.)

Is there a way to link to the Wild Magic Surge table? I want to include it for my monster but dndbeyond just tells me that I can't use external links and my monster is unpublishable. Is it strange that anything that's already published on the website wouldn't be treated as an external link?

 What tooltip were you trying to use? Perhaps we could help?

 if you're trying to reference a type of tooltip, you'll need to 'break' it so the forum won't process it.
For example, [-item]dagger[-/item] without the dashes should show dagger.

I'm trying to insert a  link to Sacred Oaths for a paladin within the description of a homebrew spell, however doing so makes the spell ineligible for public sharing due to the "external link".   This link isn't external, it's a link to a page within the PHB.   Is there a way to make the system realize this isn't an "external" link?   I would think the dnd beyond would trust its own links... 

Nope. The only links DDB recognizes as internal are tooltips.

Does anybody know how to change the monster links from legacy monsters to current? been trying to it with Star Spawn Larva Mage but I keep getting the legacy version instead of the current one.

In the official tooltips thread: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips?comment=6).

thanks for that.

Happy to help.

No, it looks as if there is some issue with tooltips on monsters lately is all.
