BBCode Explained

BBCode Explained

BBCode is short for Bulletin Board Code and is a safe way to make a certain text underlined, bold, italic or colored. It is also used to change the size and font of text as well as post links and .

This documentation is designed to give you a quick and comprehensive look at BBCode that you can use on your Forumer board. It may seem much now, but you learn fast by trying it yourself.

General

Bold
HTML Code:
[b]Text[/b]
Underlined
HTML Code:
[u]Text[/u]
Italic
HTML Code:
[i]text[/i]
[s]Strike[/s] (It isn't striked here but it will be on your board)
HTML Code:
[s]text[/s]
color
HTML Code:
[color=#hex]Text[/color]
Replace Hex with the number for the color you want. Here is a good color chart:

As you can see, the number you should replace Hex with to get a dark blue color is 00008b. For simple colors like green, yellow, red, blue, purple, brown, cyan and so on you can use the normal names. Just remember to use the "#" if you are using a number but leave it out if you are using a name.

Font
HTML Code:
[font=FONT]text[/font]
Where FONT is Times, Arial, Impact, Courier, Geneva, Optima or most of the standard fonts that you can find in such text editor as Word.

Size
HTML Code:
[size=SIZE]text[/size]
Where SIZE is the size you want to have on the text you are writing. The size is a number from 1 to 19. The higher number you use, the bigger the text will be.

Links

If you post a normal link like this http://forumer.com or an email like this someone@forumer.com , it will automatically be turned into a hyperlink.
Hyperlink with description:
HTML Code:
[url=LinkURL]Description[/url]
Email Link with description
HTML Code:
[email=someone@forumer.com]Email Link with description[/email]
List
  • Item one
  • Item two
HTML Code:
[list][*]Item one[*]Item two[/list]
  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
HTML Code:
[list=1][*]Item one[*]Item two[/list]
  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
HTML Code:
[list=i][*]Item one[*]Item two[/list]
  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
HTML Code:
[list=a][*]Item one[*]Item two[/list]
Images and Flash


HTML Code:
[IMG]URLtoimage[/IMG]
Posting Flash:
HTML Code:
[flash=50,50]full url of movie or game[/flash]
50,50 is the height and width of the flash but cannot be larger than 1000x1000. It only works if the flash ends with .swf.

Misc.


Quote:
Quoted Text
HTML Code:
[quote]text[/quote]
The same applies to HTML and SQL text only using [html] and [sql] respectively instead of [quote].

This concludes the documentation on BBCode.
