|
 |
|
I got this idea from a post by riverc0il and realized that to get the most out of it, new users should have a few examples. So here goes, this is all basic stuff you can do with the buttons above the text box when you post a message.
Bold text
Type:
Italics and underlines:
| Code: |
| [i]Italics[/i] and [u]underlines[/u] |
Big font - Little font:
| Code: |
| [size=24]Big font[/size] - [size=7]Little font[/size] |
A short list:
1. animal.
2. vegetable.
3. mineral.
| Code: |
[list]1. animal.
2. vegetable.
3. mineral.[/list] |
An example of an image (no link):
| Code: |
| [img]http://www.booktalk.org/images/header.jpg[/img] |
An example of an image (hyperlinked to a page):
| Code: |
| [url=http://www.booktalk.org/][img]http://www.booktalk.org/images/head er.jpg[/img][/url] |
Two kinds of links:
http://www.booktalk.org/
Booktalk.org
| Code: |
[url]http://www.booktalk.org/[/url]
[url=http://www.booktalk.org/]Booktalk.org[/url] |
Pretty Colours:
Using Colour:
| Code: |
| [color=red]Using Colour[/color] |
One Colour per Word:
| Code: |
| [color=red]One[/color] [color=yellow]Colour[/color] [color=green]per[/color] [color=blue]Word[/color] |
And finally, all at once to show proper nesting of tags:
Sample Text
| Code: |
| [url=http://www.booktalk.org/][color=green][size=18][u][i][b]Sample Text[/b][/i][/u][/size][/color][/url] |
Hope this helps illustrate proper usage  |

| Another nice code would be the center tag. |

Indie added a new BBCode that makes a single line across the post wherever the code is added. Look for the hr button and give it a try.

Please explain in detail what you're trying to do.

| The quote button takes some getting used to. |

Jales, here's the code you need to use:
[quote="jales"]Text of quote here[/quote]
Obviously, whatever is in quotation marks is the name of who you are quoting. Hope that is what you are looking for.
BTW, pretty avatar. |
