Forum codes

The optional use of "forum codes" in your posts lets you add formatting, similar to what can be done with HTML.

Codes are case-sensitive, you must write them as shown. eg. [B] will not work.

List of available codes

Bold

Enclose the text in [b] and [/b].
For example:

[b]this is in bold[/b]

Italic

Enclose the text in [i] and [/i].
For example:

[i]this is in italic[/i]

Underline

Enclose the text in [u] and [/u].
For example:

[u]this is in underline[/u]

Quote

Enclose the text in [quote] and [/quote].
For example:

[quote]this is a quote[/quote]

---

this is a quote

---

Lists

Use [ol] at the start and [/ol] at the end of an ordered list (ie. a numbered list).

Use [ul] at the start and [/ul] at the end of an unordered list (ie. a bullet point list).

Use [li] for each list item inside the list.
For example:

[ul]
 [li]An item
 [li]Another item
 [li]A third item
[/ul]

[ol]
 [li]An item
 [li]Another item
 [li]A third item
[/ol]
 

• An item
• Another item
• A third item

1. An item
2. Another item
3. A third item

Code

Enclose the text in [code] and [/code].
For example:

[code]this is code[/code]

this is code

Code is monospaced and preserves line breaks and formatting (such as indentation).

Mono

Enclose the text in [mono] and [/mono].
For example:

[mono]this is monospaced[/mono]

The text is monospaced, however it wraps at the edge of the page.

Line

To draw a horizontal line, use [hr].

Spaces

To add non-breaking spaces, use [sp].

Using square brackets

In case you actually want to put '[b]' into your posts, you can precede the brackets with a backslash.

Non-recognised codes will just be displayed "as is" however it would be safer for future expansion to make sure that all square brackets are entered as described above.
