A Quick BBCode Tutorial

I was bored so I decided to make a BBCode tutorial.

BBCode

BBCode is the format used to make forum post words become bold, italic, underlined, links, images and coloured. It is very simple and very useful, especially the links.


Bold

Bold is done by putting "[b]" at the beginning of the text you want to become bold and "[/b]" at the end.

Description: Makes text bold
First tag: [b]
Last tag: [/b]
Example EXAMPLE example


Italics

Italics are done by putting "[i]" at the beginning of the text you want to become italic and "[/i]" at the end.

Description: Makes text bold
First tag: [i]
Last tag: [/i]
Example: EXAMPLE example


Coloured

Colour (or "color") is done by putting "[color=???]" (??? could be 'red', 'light blue' etc.) at the beginning of the text you want to become  and "[/color]" at the end.

Description: Makes text coloured
First tag: [color=???]
Last tag: [/color]
Example: EXAMPLE example


URLs

URL links are done by putting "[url]" at the beginning of the text you want to become clickable links and "[/url]" at the end. You can also do [url=www.example.co.uk]TEXT TEXT TEXT[/url]. That would make it so you could click 'TEXT TEXT TEXT' and be linked to the site.

Description: Makes text become URLS
First tag: [url]
Last tag: [/url]
Example: www.example.co.uk


IMGs

IMGs or images are done by putting "[img]" at the beginning of the text you want to become an image and "[/img]" at the end.


Description: Makes text become images
First tag: [img]
Last tag: [/img]
Example: [img]image link goes here[/img]






PLEASE NOTE
When you have the rank, "New Scratcher," you cannot use IMG or URL tags. Sorry. D:


Hope it helped and stuff.

Re: A Quick BBCode Tutorial

Very helpful, although I already know this stuff. New Scratchers can't make links though.

Re: A Quick BBCode Tutorial

This should be added:

New Scratchers cannot post links and images

Re: A Quick BBCode Tutorial

Re: A Quick BBCode Tutorial

Great job, but what about invisible text?
You can either use the color gainsboro (note: doesn't work in quotes) or the color transparent (note:doesn't work in IE)

Re: A Quick BBCode Tutorial

Cool topic.
You should mention that New Scratchers CAN link to things, but only stuff on the Scratch site

On the IMG, Colored text, and italic description is "Makes text bold"  tongue

Thanks, I fixed all of them. They were there because I copy+pasted and didn't manage to change everything.
