What is BBCode?

Good info! Actually the most important thing is to use it on our forum signature since most of the forum use BB code on our signature.

The basic difference between BBCode and HTML is that while HTML uses < and > to surround tags, BBCode requires that you use [ and ]. Once you realize that, it's pretty smooth sailing.

For example, bold text is produced with text to have in bold, while italics is generated with and and underlining (which is still a bad idea on a Web page, even in BBCode) is done with and .

BBcode used to format text, insert pictures url in a post on the forums, profiles, reviews, and PM. similar to HTML BBCode. The only difference is BBCode uses square brackets [] istead of <> in HTML format.

hey mate..

BBCode is a special implementation of HTML, offering great formatting control on particular objects in a post.
The use of BBCode is granted by the administrator, but it can also be disabled on a per post basis from the posting form.
BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, but tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and >.
For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.

BBCode was devised to provide a safer, easier and more limited way of allowing users to format their messages. Previously, many message boards allowed the users to include HTML formatting, a side effect of which was that malformed HTML could disrupt the page's layout, or HTML could be used to run JavaScript leading to XSS attacks. Some implementations of BBCode have suffered problems related to the way they translate the BBCode into HTML, which could negate the security that was intended to be given by BBCode. An alternative is a properly written HTML filter (many of which are freely available).

Although the basic tags of BBCode are similar in most internet forum software, there is currently no standards document for BBCode and there are consequently many incompatible variants. Some variants are case-sensitive while others are not. Some variants have tags which highlight the formatting of HTML, ASP, PHP, SQL and other markup languages and programming languages.
