BB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with.
They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does,
but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing.
The ability to use BB code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator,
so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.
Below is a list of the BB code tags you can use to format your messages.
The [list] tag allows you to create simple, bulleted lists without specifying an option. Within the value portion, each bullet is denoted by the [*] tag.
Usage
[list]value[/list]
Example Usage
[list] [*]list item 1 [*]list item 2 [/list]
Example Output
list item 1
list item 2
Advanced Lists
The [list] tag allows you to create advanced lists by specifying an option. The option should have a value of 1 (for a numbered list) or A (for an alphabetic with capital letters list) or a (for an alphabetic with lowercase letters list) or I (for a numbered with capital Roman numeral list) or i (for a numbered with small Roman numeral list).
Usage
[list=Option]value[/list]
Example Usage
[list=1] [*]list item 1 [*]list item 2 [/list]
[list=a] [*]list item 1 [*]list item 2 [/list]
Example Output
list item 1
list item 2
list item 1
list item 2
Images
The [img] tag allows you to embed images within your posts. You can also combine this tag with the [url] tag to make images become links.
