BBCode

Not to be confused with BBC.

BBCode ("Bulletin Board Code") is a lightweight markup language used to format messages in many Internet forum software. It was first introduced in 1998.[1] The available "tags" of BBCode are usually indicated by square brackets ([ and ]) surrounding a keyword, and are parsed before being translated into HTML.[citation needed]

This would be another way to use the [img]url_img[/img] and must be pre-configured by the forum administrator.

(This and other emoticons, depending on the variant. Most BBCodes do not enclose emoticons in square brackets, leading to frequent accidental usage.)

(Specific image and size vary.)
<blockquote><p>quoted text</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>quoted text</p><cite>&mdash; author</cite></blockquote>

(Usually implemented in more advanced ways.) 

[quote]quoted text[/quote]

[quote="author"]quoted text[/quote]

(including optional author)

quoted text

quoted text

— author

<pre><code>computer code</code></pre>

<pre>monospaced text</pre>

[pre]monospaced text[/pre]

monospaced text
<span style="font-size:30px">Large Text</span>
or 
<span style="font-size:85%">Smaller Text</span>

[style size="30px"]Large Text[/style]

[style size="85"]Smaller Text[/style]

or 

[size="30px"]Large Text[/size]

[size="85"]Smaller Text[/size]

(The unit of measurement varies with each BBCode variant and could represent pixels, points, or relative HTML sizes.)

Large Text
Smaller Text
<span style="color:fuchsia;">Text in fuchsia</span>
or 
<span style="color:#FF00FF;">Text in fuchsia</span>

[style color="fuchsia"]Text in fuchsia[/style]
or 
[style color=#FF00FF]Text in fuchsia[/style]
or 
[color=#FF00FF]Text in fuchsia[/color]

(Both HTML color names and hexadecimal color values are generally supported, although on some boards, you must omit the # from selecting a hexadecimal color.)

Text in fuchsia 
<ul>
  <li>Entry A</li>
  <li>Entry B</li>
</ul>

<ol>
  <li>Entry 1</li>
  <li>Entry 2</li>
</ol>

[list]
  [*]Entry A
  [*]Entry B
[/list]

[list=1]
  [*]Entry 1
  [*]Entry 2
[/list]

Some message boards do not need the square brackets around the markers.[3]

(Many variants for li and /li, list types – unordered and ordered, with different bullets or counter formats – etc.)

  • Entry A
  • Entry B
  1. Entry 1
  2. Entry 2
<table>
<tr>
  <th>column header 1</th>
  <th>column header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>table cell 1</td>
  <td>table cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

[table]
[tr]
  [th]column header 1[/th]
  [th]column header 2[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
  [td]table cell 1[/td]
  [td]table cell 2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

(Some variants for thead, rules, etc.)
