For those who are just joining us and for those who don't know BBCode, I've made this for you. Knowing the system will save you some time while posting and reduce the chances of those ninjas getting there first. :wink:

(Moderators, I don't know if this goes here or Kerbal Network or the Space Lounge, move where you like)

The code tags below are the actual tags. They are not modified in any way to keep them from not working. I.E. You can copy-paste and they will still work.

If arguments are in a <> tag, remove the entire argument and input anything.

All tags can be lowercase or uppercase, but must be entirely one or the other.

SIMPLE TEXT MANIPULATION

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Bold text inside of tags. Bold text looks like this

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Italic text inside of tags. italic text looks like this

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Underline text inside of tags. Underlined text looks like this

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Strikethrough text inside of tags. Struck text looks like this

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Enlarges/shrinks text. Size 3 is default.

Size 1 looks like this.

Size 7 looks like this.

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Makes text a different color. The Hex value is formatted like so:

#RRGGBB, where RR is a hex format value for red, GG is for green, and BB is blue. So, #FF0000 gives you red, #00FF00 gives you green, and #0000FF gives you blue.

Red text looks like this.

Teal text looks like this. Code: #00FFFF

For invisible text, you can input #FFFFFF. Highlight immediately below this line to see what I mean.

HELLO WORLD!!!! I'M INVISIBLE!!!

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Changes the font. This is Comic Sans MS

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WEB/IMAGE LINKS

[noparse]<text to display>[/noparse] -- Clickable link to the URL inside of tags. Link to Google.com

[noparse]<http url>[/noparse] -- Show image from URL inside of tags.

[noparse]

Javascript is disabled. View full album
[/noparse] -- Show Imgur album. So [noparse]
Javascript is disabled. View full album
[/noparse] gives you:

ASSORTED ODDS AND ENDS

[noparse]

<text>

[/noparse] -- Turns text into a "code" block. Text inside the code block has uniform spacing.


Looks like this....
See? Equal spacing.

[noparse]

<text>
[/noparse] -- Makes a quote bubble with the author name on top.
Needs moar boosters!

[noparse]

<text>

[/noparse] -- Makes an expandable spoiler.

Yes. Yes it is.

[NOPARSE][NOPARSE][/NOPARSE][/NOPARSE] -- Makes any BBCode inside of the tags not execute. This is how I made the commands here be shown.

[noparse]<text>[/noparse] -- Scrolls user down to the line that reads:

[noparse]<text>[/goto][/noparse]

Example:

Here's the start...

[noparse]

Here's the start...

[line=TEST LINE]And here's the end.

[/noparse]

And here's the end.

Table command list. This one's complicated. :D Bear with me' date=' please.

[noparse'][table=width:<Width in Characters&gt]

[tr]

[td][/td]

[/tr]

[/table][/noparse]

The [noparse][tr][/tr][/noparse] and [noparse][td][/td][/noparse] tags indicate table rows and columns, respectively.

So, to make a table of width 500, with 3 rows and 2 columns, you'd do this:

[noparse]

[table=width:500]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

[/noparse]

Would look like so:

[table=width:500]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]<text>[/td]

[td]<text>[/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

List of Smileys:

[noparse]:([/noparse] :(

[noparse]:0.0:[/noparse] :0.0:

[noparse]:mad:[/noparse] :mad:

[noparse]:huh:[/noparse] :huh:

[noparse]:sealed:[/noparse] :sealed:

[noparse];.;[/noparse] ;.;

[noparse]:wink:[/noparse] :wink:

Aaaand that's about all you'll ever need. It's also all that I know. :D

If you do need to know something else, thanks to Vexx32 and Red Iron Crown for the BBCode list available on this forum. I will be incorporating everything here eventually, but feel free to take a look around.

Hope this helps!

You might want to add a bit about the Goto and Line tags here, as well:

[noparse][goto=part2]Click here to go to part 2![/goto][/noparse]

Click here to go to part 2!

[noparse][line=part2]This is part 2![/line][/noparse]

This is part 2!

Ah, yes indeed! And post-goto as well.

Updating...

EDIT:

I've forgotten how to do the post-goto. :(

Are you missing the thread-goto as well? They're like this... say we use this thread as an example, and that post of yours just now, too.

The thread link is

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/[B]106784[/B]-The-Forum-BBCode-Tutorial

and the link to your last post here is

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/106784-The-Forum-BBCode-Tutorial?p=[B]1687911[/B]&viewfull=1#post1687911

(I've bolded the parts that contain the ID numbers for each; the post link is obtained from the number hyperlink at the top-right of a particular post.)

Use them like so:

[noparse][thread=106784]link to thread[/thread]
[post=1687911]link to post[/post][/noparse]

resulting in these:

[thread=106784]link to thread[/thread]

On a forum that works a lot with large numbers, mentioning {sup} and {sub} for superscript and subscript (use square brackets, obviously) would have been useful.

No more 5.4E12 or 5400000000000 but simply 5.4×1012 instead!

Oh, and you can get the multiply sign by holding down the alt key and typing "0215" on the numeric keypad.

Reviving thread to point out broken scripts. I came here after I couldn't get a mashugina imgur album to parse only to discover that the instructable for it itself is broken.

Well, part of the issue is that the forums don't use BBCode anymore, it's a WYSIWYG editor.

But they are BBCode compatible aren't they? At least, they still accept some usage of BBCode...

 

See? This was BBCode Text. At least I think so....

Yup.
