BBCode Basic's
Note: When I give an example sometimes I bold a letter in the command, this is just done so that the command is not completed and you can see what I did.


Table of Contents.

1- Introduction.
2 - Brackets.
3 - Editing your text.
3.1 - Bold.
3.2 - Italics.
3.3 - Size.
3.4 - Color.
3.5 - Underline.

4.1 - URL Link Names.
5 - Quote.
6 - Code.

1 - Introduction
Since HTML is disabled on this forum, which is good because it is alot more complicated and I don't feel like doing a whole 10 page essay, I will just share the basics of BBC. Though you can do this all above the text you are editing on the full reply screen. I will show you how to do this all with the quick reply. It's actually quite simple.

2 - Brackets.

This "[" and this "]" are brackets, these will surround your command. You will use these at both the start and end of your code. These are essential to BBC along with "/" the forward slash. This will end the current command.

Example, (not a real code.)



The tells the following what to do, then the middle is effected by the command, then The Command is ended.*

The following is showing 2 commands on the same thing.

The dog jumped over the tree

See? The text would be effected by both.

This also works.

The dog jumped over the tree

"The dog jumped", would be effected by "Sample 1". While the whole text would be effected by sample 2.*

Make sence?*Ok. Let's learn sone real commands.


3 - Editing your text.
3.1 - Bolding.



Or



This will bold your text, example.

Hello

Hello

The second one was*


d]Hello[/Bold]

3.2 - Italics.




This will italisize your text, example.

Hello

Hello

The second one was*


Hello

3.3 - Size.




This will change the size of your text, example.

Hello

Hello

The second one was*


Hello

3.4 - Color.

This can get complicated.

There are six digit Hexidecimal number and letter combinations that make up all the colors in the rainbow...*

Here is a website where you can look for colors.

Here (http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorhex.html)

After you find one, you do this.


Text*

Example

Hello

Hello

3.5 - Underline.




This will underline your text, example.

Hello

Hello

The second one was*


Hello

4 - URLs.
This forum may do this automatically, but putting a
around your text will turn it from plain text. To a clickable URL.

4.1 - URL Link Names.

This is an advanced URL code. This wi change your link from being just the URL. To something like a single word, or phrase.

Let's say you are putting a link to google.com

Instead of saying just plain http://www.google.com/.

You can say Google (http://www.google.com)

I did that by going,
Google

5 - Quote.





This will put the little speech bubble, meaning it is a quote from someone.

Example

Hello


Hello

6 - Code.

This is not used as regulary as the others, this is where you can put a long amount of digits or words, an a scroll bar will apear, which is why it is called "code".

It Is also often uses on forums as instructional text areas. Like I did in this thread,

It is done by the command






I Noname, wrote this all, for this website. I didn't copy a single word from anywhere else.. If you have any questions lemme know.

Ahem.

Also if you need to use BBcode as an exmaple, you can simply use [noparse] to stop it from formatting the code.
For example =

Shouldn't [blink], [blur], [scroll], [flipv], [updown] work too?
I tried to use them for my signature, it didn't work :(

It depends on whether they are enabled or disabled by the forum admin.
