BBcode
What is BBcode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can actually use BBCode in your posts on the forum is determined by the administrator. In addition, you can disable BBCode on a per post basis via the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. Depending on the template you are using you may find adding BBCode to your posts is made much easier through a clickable interface above the message area on the posting form. Even with this you may find the following guide useful.
Text Formatting
BBCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways:
To make a piece of text bold enclose it in:
For underlining use:
To italicize text use:
To strike some text:
test
How to change the text colour or size
To alter the color or size of your text the following tags can be used. (Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system):
To change your text color, you can specify a known color (ex: red, blue, yellow, etc.), or an hexadecimal color code (ex: #FFFFFF, #000000):
To change your text size, you must specify the text size in pixel, from 1 (so small you won't see it) to 29 (very huge):
To change the font, you must specify a recognized font (ex: Verdana, Arial) if the user hasn't got the font, a default one will be displayed :
Can I combine formatting tags?
Yes, of course you can; for example to get someones attention you may write:
Although, we recommend you not to use much text as above ! Remember that it's your task to correctly shut the tags. The following example is incorrect:
Quoting and outputting fixed-width text
Quoting text in replies
There are two ways you can quote text: with a reference or without.
The reference example, to quote a post wrote by Mr. Blobby, you must enter:
The second method allows you to blindly quote something. To use it :
Outputting code or fixed width data

Generating lists

Creating Links
Linking to another site

Showing images in posts
Adding an image to a post
The BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and second, the image you display must already be available on the Internet (it cannot exist only on your computer, for example, unless you run a webserver!). You can upload for free your images on internet by an image hosting such as www.servimg.com. To display an image, you need to proceed as following :
You can place an image into a link if you wish (by insuring yourself that the opening and closure tags are correct), for an example :
Text positioning
Four positions possibilities are proposed :
Left alignment
The centering :
Right alignment :
The justification :
Scrolling text
Make a message scroll horizontally
If you wish to make a text scroll horizontally, you need to use the following BBcode :
The second way to make a text scroll is vertically, with the following BBcode :

Text positioning
Four positions possibilities are proposed :

[justify]Otaku is derived from a Japanese term for another's house or family (お宅, otaku). This word is often used metaphorically, as an honorific second-person pronoun. In this usage, its literal translation is "you". For example, in the anime Macross, first aired in 1982, Lynn Minmay uses the term this way.[/justify]
