A Guide to BBCode

DarkSDL wrote:bbCode Tips and Tricks

In this guide, I shall show you the many bbCode secrets, tips, and tricks.

You can play around with bbcode in this thread. Just keep it at an acceptable level, don't spam it.

The Linked Image

Ah, yes, the linked image. It is really easy if you know how to do it.

Code:

Code: Select all

[url=www.fallingsandgame.com] [img]http://fallingsandgame.com/templates/subBlack/images/FallingSand.gif[/img] [/url]
Remember, there is a space between the "url" and "img" tags!

The List Tag

Few people know how the "List=" and "List" tags work. It's format(s) is as follows-

Code: Select all

Some list[list]
[*]First
[*]Second
[*]Third[/list]
View:

Some list
  • First
  • Second
  • Third
list= formats

Code:
The "list=1" tag means that it will be numbered.

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]First
[*]Second
[*]Third[/list]
View:
  1. First
  2. Second
  3. Third
Next list= format-

Code:
The "list=A" tag means that it will be lettered from A to Z.

Code: Select all

[list=A]
[*]First
[*]Second
[*]Third[/list]
View:
  1. First
  2. Second
  3. Third
Linked Text Trick

How to link text. It's very easy, but some people don't know how to do it.

Code:

Code: Select all

[url=www.yoururlhere.com]TEXT GOES HERE[/url]
View:
TEXT GOES HERE

HEX Color Trick

Very few, if any, people know how to use this. The font colors are not restricted to the ones provided, you can use any color available in the world of colors.

You will need an online HEX color code converter or a HEX color chart, like a good one located here.

Code:

Code: Select all

[color=#YOURHEXCODEHERE]Lorem Ipsum[/color]
View:
Lorem Ipsum

Quote Tags Trick

Fairly easy, and can be useful too.

Code:

Code: Select all

Have fun with bbCode!
I recently discovered a guide to bbcode, and thought it may be useful to transfer the post to this forum (please excuse the advertising mismatch. I was frankly too lazy to change the context of the post). It should be fairly obvious who made it and from what community this was originally from, so credits are already in the post.

tl;dr-ers will be shot on sight.

This really should be in off topic. Nice and useful otherwise.
