Issue: Support for new XF2.2 editor

I wonder if this new HEADING bbcode could be processed by VaultWiki to act as a substitute for VaultWiki's custom H bbcode only on wiki pages? I think that this could greatly simplify creating and editing wiki pages from having WYSIWYG headings in the editor that could still be included in a page's table of contents. Plus the usual wiki section head controls (e.g. share this section, show/hide).

If it isn't too onerous, I'd like to see "Heading 1" render and function on wiki pages the same as [H=2], "Heading 2" as [H=3] and "Heading 3" as [H=4]. I can't speak for other admins, but at least with my site [H=1] is used infrequently. I also get that XF2.2's HEADING bbcode only offers 3 levels while [H] offers twice that many (1-6), but perhaps that's a necessary price to pay to make the wiki editing experience more accessible to a wider user base (not just power users). If more heading levels or 'hidden by default' are needed, [H] could still be used, it just wouldn't be WYSIWYG.

If it is possible, I think it is safe to say that (at least in XF2.2+) the above would fulfill part 3 of an earlier feature request that I made in 2017 to make heading bbcode easier to use. Or maybe this idea can't be easily implemented. Hard to know when XF2.2 hasn't been released yet.

What does everyone else think?

PS: Here's a screenshot from from Kier's Have you seen...? video showing the XF2.2 editor heading menu.

If that would be possible then that would be a really nice enhancement.

The wiki headings currently provide specific functionality that is not possible to extend to a WYSIWYG format (the TOC splitting) due to the section-mismatch problem that it encourages users to create. We would only be able to add WYSIWYG handling by removing that functionality from the BB-Code and making it a formatting-only code (thus removing any benefit of ACL's suggestion) which would not be possible until: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/3259/

It may be possible to provide editor controls without WYSIWYG, but since 4.1.x is feature-locked now, that is unlikely until a new branch.

The following is likely regarding editor changes in XenForo 2.2, without waiting for a new branch:
- Ensure that VaultWiki's HR BB-Code is automatically renamed when installing VaultWiki (existing installations should rename manually if they want to switch to XenForo's HR, potentially breaking existing usages). DONE
- Ensure that wiki toolbar types still work properly in the updated button manager and are applied correctly to wiki editors. DONE
- Ensure that the preview tab is implemented and working properly in wiki editors. DONE
- Ensure that attachment editing still works properly in wiki comments. LOOKS GOOD
- If possible easily, plug certain wiki BB-Codes, such as COMMENT, TEMPLATE, and FILE into the new Quick-Insert toolbar. Quick-Insert bar didn't make it into XF 2.2 final.

What would you recommend when upgrading from XF 2.1 to XF 2.2 and wanting to make the switch to XF's HR tag? What should I rename it to to be consistent with the automatic renaming?

You can rename the HR BB-Code that VaultWiki created in the Custom BB Codes to anything you want really. Just keep in mind that anywhere you already used the BB-Code as HR will now be trying to use the XenForo version, which may not support the same features. So some cases of already used HR BB-Codes may need to be updated if they are important to the design/layout of a particular post (by editing that post).

Okay, so simply renaming it to (for example) [vwhr] would be sufficient enough (apart from changing already existing vw pages) for XenForo to automatically pick up their own [hr] implementation in the rest of the forum?

And how would I go about doing that? Because when editing the hr tag, I get the message "Only a limited number of fields in this item may be edited" and cannot change anything of value.

Yes, your understanding is correct.

It sounds like you are in the correct place, but XenForo might require your admin to be in development mode in order to rename BB-Codes that belong to add-ons. If you are unfamiliar with the process, it is achieved by adding something like this to XenForo's src/config.php file:
