This is intended to be as close as possible to the functionality of BBCodeXtra, which was not migrated to Quantum.

There is only 1 top level menu because of the limitations of Webextensions, with what were the top level menus below it.

The latest version adds a symbol submenu, and the ability to work with rich text elements on https:// pages.
