A Guide to BBCode
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:35 pm
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.DarkSDL wrote:bbCode Tips and Tricks

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

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

Some listlist= formats
- First

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

Next list= format-
