BBCode is an implementation of HTML that is used to format posts in ways listed below.


Text Formatting

• To make a piece of text bold enclose it in [b.][/b] tags, e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [b]Bold text[/b]

  becomes Bold text
• For underlining use [u.][/u], e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [u]Underlined text[/u]

  becomes Underlined text
• To italicise text use [i.][/i], e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [i]Italic text[/i]

  becomes Italic text
• To create strikethrough text use [strike.][/s], e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [s]Strikethrough text[/s]

  becomes Strikethrough text
• Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in [color=][/color]. You can specify either a recognised colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, e.g. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:

  Code: Select all

  [color=red]Red text[/color]

  or

  Code: Select all

  [color=#FF0000]Red text[/color]

  Both will output Red text
• Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using [size=][/size]. You can specify a numerical value representing the text size in percent, starting at 1 through 200. For example:

  Code: Select all

  [size=50]Small text[/size]

  outputs Small text, and

  Code: Select all

  [size=200]Huge text[/size]

  becomes Huge text
• To create superscript and subscript text use [sup.][/sup] and [sub.][/sub] tags respectively. For example:

  Code: Select all

  2[sup]8[/sup], H[sub]2[/sub]O

  outputs 28, H2O
• You can combine different format tags, e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [size=125][color=yellow][i]Big yellow italic text[/i][/color][/size]

  becomes Big yellow italic text

Quoting text
There are two ways you can quote text, with a reference or without.

• To quote text with a reference to a person use [quote.=""][./quote] tags, e.g.

  Code: Select all

  [quote="Darth Vader"]No, I am your father.[/quote]

  outputs

  Darth Vader wrote:No, I am your father.

• To quote text without reference, simply enclose it in [quote.][/quote] tags.

Adding code
If you want to output a piece of code or in fact anything that requires a fixed width, e.g. Courier type font you should enclose the text in [code.][/code] tags, for example:
[/code]outputs
Generating lists
BBCode supports two types of lists, unordered and ordered. An unordered list outputs each item in your list sequentially one after the other indenting each with a bullet character. To create an unordered list you use [list.][/list.] and define each item within the list using [*.]. For example: outputs

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

The second type of list, an ordered list, gives you control over what is output before each item. To create an ordered list you use [list.=1][/list] to create a numbered list or alternatively [list.=a][/list] for an alphabetical list. As with the unordered list, items are specified using [*]. For example: outputs
Numbered list:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2

Alphabetical list:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2

Adding images
To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with [img.][/img] tags. For example: outputs



Adding links
phpBB features something called Magic Links, this will turn any syntactically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://. For example typing
into your message will automatically lead to https://raymanpc.com being output when you view the message.

To make any text act as a link enclose it in [url.=][/url] tags. You must put the destination URL after the '=' sign, for example: outputs Pirate-Community

As with all the BBCode tags you can wrap URLs around any of the other tags such as [img.][/img], [b.][/b], etc. For example: outputs


You must ensure the correct open and close order is following. For example, this: is wrong.


Embedding YouTube videos

To embed a YouTube video to your post use the [youtube][/youtube] tags. You must put the video identifier between the tags. The identifier consists of several random characters that can be found in the video URL usually after the '=' sign, e.g. for this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvhwWXF-LfU the identifier is MvhwWXF-LfU, so to embed it you must write the following:

P.S. We need a spoiler tag.

Great, now let's hope people will read this, which I doubt.

Mat you are an awesome genius.

I actually didn't know the sub thing existed >>

Actually no one knows about sub and sup, for some reason.

Probably because they don't have a button which does it for you at the top of the posting box.

Oh señor Mat, your wiseness knows no bounds!

Great job dude!
I was wondering if you can embed SoundCloud Waveform? That could be interesting.

Did I do it right?

Sure... but the video is damn weird.

It's a shame this sticky didn't get more posts... its importance was quite understated.

Yeah, I'm so disappointed.

Don't worry, my sticky didn't get that many more.

What are we doing wrong?

I'm sure many people read it anyway!

That's quite optimistic.

At least it's a great topic... even if no one reads it!

Word to Word gets many more views.

Yeah, I guess it is a much more interesting topic.

Yeah, it's thrilling to see what kind of word associations other users come up with!

Such as zombie goat -> zombie chicken
