		A custom effect for a [RichTextLabel].
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A custom effect for a [RichTextLabel], which can be loaded in the [RichTextLabel] inspector or using [method RichTextLabel.install_effect].
		[b]Note:[/b] For a [RichTextEffect] to be usable, a BBCode tag must be defined as a member variable called [code]bbcode[/code] in the script.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript skip-lint]
		# The RichTextEffect will be usable like this: `[example]Some text[/example]`
		var bbcode = "example"
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp skip-lint]
		// The RichTextEffect will be usable like this: `[example]Some text[/example]`
		string bbcode = "example";
		[/csharp]
		[/codeblocks]
		[b]Note:[/b] As soon as a [RichTextLabel] contains at least one [RichTextEffect], it will continuously process the effect unless the project is paused. This may impact battery life negatively.

				Override this method to modify properties in [param char_fx]. The method must return [code]true[/code] if the character could be transformed successfully. If the method returns [code]false[/code], it will skip transformation to avoid displaying broken text.
