BBCode tags

BBCode tags let you format text in your profile and message-board postings. It's similar to HTML, but simpler. The tags start with a [ (where you would have used < in HTML) and end with ] (where you would have used > in HTML).

Examples:

[b]Bold[/b] becomes Bold

[i]Italic[/i] becomes Italic

[u]Underline[/u] becomes Underline

[size=25]Big text[/size] becomes Big text

[size=+1]Relative size[/size] becomes Relative size (from -7 to +7)

[color=red]Red text[/color] becomes Red text

[url=http://google.com/]Google[/url] becomes [1]

[quote]Quoted[/quote] for quoted blocks of text

[quote=someone]Quoted[/quote] for quoted blocks of text, citing quoted author

[img][/img] to display an image

[code]Code snippet here[/code] to display some computer code

[pre]Pre-formatted text here[/pre] to display some pre-formatted text

[[Term]] hyperlink to a term defined on the Pirates@Home glossary

Lists are also possible:

[list]
* Item 1
* Item 2
[/list]

to:

• Item 1
• Item 2

If you don't close a tag or don't specify a parameter correctly, the raw tag itself will display instead of the formatted text.
