A Quick Runthrough of BB code
« on: December 11, 2006, 08:45:45 PM »
Since so many people don't quite understand, I thought I would write a mini guide to BB code, which is used mostly on forums like these.

[b]text[/b] - these tags will bold
[i]text[/i] - italics
[u]text[/u] - underline.

You always need both tags surrounding your words.

[url=http://website.com]text[/url]- these tags will create a hyperlink for you. Just [url=THEURL]text[/url]

[img]THE URL[/img] - that's how to include pictures.

[quote][/quote] - you always need both of these tags, otherwise the quote won't work.
Generally, you put your comments *after* the quotes, not in them.
Or you could set your text apart from the rest of the quote to make it look
different from the regular text. Bold, or coloring your words red are trendy.

BB code is very easy! If any of this is unclear, or there are other questions on BB code, I or anyone else with knowledge would be happy to answer those questions.

Can you tell me how to post a hyperlink, but hide it behind a title? Example: If I wanted to post a link to my blog, I would not wanted the URL to appear, but the title Scritzy's Topic of the Day; clicking on the title would take a person to the URL.

Thank you in advance. :)
