BBCode Basic Guide
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.
OrCode:[Bold] [/Bold]
This will bold your text, example.
Hello
Hello
The second one was*
3.2 - Italics.Code:[Bold]Hello[/Bold]
This will italisize your text, example.
Hello
Hello
The second one was*
3.3 - Size.Code:[I]Hello[/I]
This will change the size of your text, example.Code:[Size=?] [/Size]
Hello
Hello
The second one was*
3.4 - Color.Code:[Size=10]Hello[/Size]
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:[color=#FF0000]Text[/color]
Example
Hello
Hello
3.5 - Underline.
This will underline your text, example.
Hello
Hello
The second one was*
4 - URLs.Code:[U]Hello[/U]
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,5 - Quote.Code:[URL=http://www.google.com]Google[/URL]
This will put the little speech bubble, meaning it is a quote from someone.Code:[Quote] [/Quote]
Example
Hello
6 - Code.Hello
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.
