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.

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.)

[Sample] [/Sample]

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

The following is showing 2 commands on the same thing.

[Sample1][Sample2] The dog jumped over the tree[/Sample1][/Sample2]

See? The text would be effected by both.

This also works.

[Sample1][Sample2] The dog jumped [/Sample1]over the tree[/Sample2]

"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.

Code:
[Bold] [/Bold]

Code:
[Size=10]Hello[/Size]
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

After you find one, you do this.

Code:

3.5 - Underline.

This will underline your text, example.

Hello

Code:
[U]Hello[/U]
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

I did that by going,
Code:
[URL=http://www.google.com]Google[/URL]
5 - Quote.

Code:
[Quote] [/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.

Fanks, Noname.
