How to write and edit messages for the board

#1 Post by Tom »

There is a link/button "FAQ", which leads to a text about how to use the forum.

In addition:

The board uses "bb-code" to change message/text properties. bb-code embeds a text (snippet), which should be shown different to the rest - almost similar to HTML. bb-code-tags can be either inserted by marking the text and pressing buttons like "b" for bold text - or directly typed into the text. All tags can be combined, they open with [ tag ] and end with [ / tag ]. So, text style can be bold, italics and something else, like "big size":

This text is in bold, italics, underlined and big.

The IMG tag shows a picture; the path to picture must be a valid URI to a picture document (JPG, PNG, GIF).

The URL tag points to another URL (link). If you type URLs directly into the text, most of them are automatically translated into URL-tags. If you want to point to an URL and show the name of the link instead of the URL, you have to do this:

[ URL = VALID_URL ]'Text to be shown'[ / URL ]

(without spaces, of course)

Sample:

A very helpful tag is the CODE tag, which formats text in a non-proportional font:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION Main()
? "Hello, world"
RETURN NIL
The CODE tag can not be combined with other text formatting tags!

"No."
"Okay, give me a second chance."
