BBCode is pretty simple when you get used to it. n_n
Each tag will follow the text before and after to have effect. The first part of the code is enclosed in square brackets and the end also is but followed by an "/" to end the tag.
The basic format for using a BBCode tag is something like:
[where the tag begins]Your sentence here.[/where the tag ends]
Of course some are written differently but we'll get to that.
Formatting Text
Regular text can easily be formatted using the standard formatting tools.
To apply formatting to a text string, simply type out the text, write the appropriate tags as follows.
I'll list the codes for the most common formatting options.
Basic Formatting Tools:
Bold - [b]Bold[/b]
Italics - [i]Italics[/i]
Underline - [u]Underline[/u]
Strikeout - [s]Strikeout[/s]
Sizes - [Size=10]Big text[/size] It has to be an Integral value between 9 and 19.
Colors - you can write colors in Hexadecimal format or word format such as:
[color=darkred]Red writing[/color]
[color=#FF0000]Red writing[/color]
Justification:
Left Alignment - [align=left]Left Alignment[/align]
Center Alignment - [align=center]Center Alignment[/align]
Right Alignment - [align=right]Right Alignment[/align]
Others:
Quote - [quote]This is a quote[/quote]
Code [code]Check out my code for a tutorial example duuude.
Url types. - Typing a url to link it to a site is as follows. [url]http://www.gaiaionline.com/home/[/url] To have a word alternative is [url=http://www.gaiaionline.com/home/]The text here[/url]
Posting images
Photobucket or imageshack, copy/paste the URL into an image tag. This should be a direct link to the image (it will end in an image extension .jpg, .png, .gif, etc)
Example:
[img]http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2442/seriouscatjoker1jp7.jpg[/img]
Another handy feature to link images onto pictures. The format is written as [url=url for site wanting to be linked to][img]the image url[/img[/url]
Lists
Making bulleted lists can be very useful. A simple list with bullets on each item is easy to make, just precede each list item with an asterisk tag:
[list]
[*]Item 1
[*]Item 2
[*]Item 3
[/list]
This will create a solid bullet for each entry.
A numbered list is:
[list=1]
[*]1
[*]2
[*]3
[/list]
And an alphabetical list is:
[list=a]
[*]Go to the shops.
[*]Etc
[*]Drink tea.
[/list]
This is only a quick list of what I think you need to know.
