Message Board - BBcode tutorial
| Tutorial |
If you wish to format text in your posts on the message board, you can use certain BBcode tags. BBcode is a markup language similar to HTML that is used on most message boards and allows posters to change the format of text in their messages as well as add images, links and quotes to their posts. The tags are not case sensitive and can be typed in capitals as well as lower case letters. Here are the tags that you may use to control what your posts will look like: Basic styles[b]Text[/b] - Bolded text [i]Text[/i] - Italicized text [u]Text[/u] - Underlined text [s]Text[/s] - Crossed out text Font size[size=X]Text[/size] ...where X is percentage of the default size. 100 is default. For example, text size 200 will be twice bigger than the default. The acceptable size range for message board posts is usually 0-300, and 0-100 for signatures. Color[color=X]Text[/color] ...X should be replaced with the name or code of the color you wish to use. For example: red or #CC0000.
