+## What is a Text Effect?
+
+A Text Effect (or text-tag) is a written command in the form of a special [BBCode](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/ui/bbcode_in_richtextlabel.html).
+While Godot's BBCodes require a Rich Text Label, Dialogic's work inside the timeline's Text Events and do **not** use Godot's system for custom BBCode effects.
