Basic text formatting

From StcWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The STC Forum is powered by PunBB (BB stands for bulletin board, which is an old term for a forum). PunBB has its own text markup syntax called BBCode. You use this code to apply bold, italic, underline, or any combination of text formats. You also use this code to add hyperlinks and images, as well as distinguish snippets of code in a post (especially useful for Web designers and developers).

When creating or editing a post, you can click the BBCode link at the bottom left to see syntax definitions. "Smilies" are disabled in the STC Forum, so you can always disregard them. For more information about BBCode, please refer to the BBCode reference page.

[edit] Syntax for basic text formatting

Note: The syntax always begins with this basic structure: [bbatt]your item here[/bbatt], where "bbatt" indicates the coded attribute and "your item here" indicates the text you will be formatting.

  • This BBCode creates Bold Text: [b]your item here[/b]
  • This BBCode creates Italic Text: [i]your item here[/i]
  • This BBCode creates Underlined Text: [u]your item here[/u]
