guide to bbc and cencors (finished)

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

This guide will show and explain all the censors and the bbc tags and censors. Lets begin with the code tag.
[code][/code]

The code tags make it so that all censors and bbcs get disabled and make it so that you can easily highlight all that is in the code box. The first part of the tag is in the code box and the second part is out the code box. Sorry about that.

Part one: Basic nestable bbcs.

Nestable bbcs can be put around each other. These are the basic 4.

[i]italics[/i] [b]bold[/b] [u]underline [/u] [s]strike [/s]

This is how they appear. bold italic underline strike

To nest them put multiple ones around the words. [s][u][i][b]all of them[/b][/i][/u][/s]
all of them

You can also overlap for only a section.

[b] bold [i] bold and italics [/b] italics [/i]

bold bold and italics italics [/i]

There are 2 more basic nestables: Superscript and subscript.

[sup]superior[/sup][sub]submissive[/sub]

^superior_submissive


The difference between these and the other 4 is something can't be both high and low (duh).

Part 2: custom bbcs

Some bbcs can be changed to limitless possibilities. I begin with the url.

[url] here?[/url]

Ordinary that does nothing but link you no where. here?
But you can change it be placing a url in the tag.
[url=http://danballforums.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=helpprovided&action=modifypost&thread=4773&post=83715] right here [url]
right here

All custom bbcs are in this format. [bbc=custom] [/bbc]

Here are the color ones [glow=red,2,300]red glow [/glow] [shadow=red,left,300]red shadow[/shadow] [color=Red]red[/color]

[glow=red]red glow [/glow] [shadow=red]red shadow[/shadow] red

the color custom tags are all nestable. To change the color substitute red with other colors or hex codes.
[font=Verdana]verdana[/font]
verduna
Guess......
teletype is another font
[tt]tele[/tt]
tele
Like sup and sub, something can't be 2 fonts, but they can be nested.

Text size:[size=10]big[/size]
big


Part 3: image bbcs
We have 2 image bbcs, image and youtube. To make an image, put an image url between 2 image tags.
[img]http://www.indiegames.com/blog/images/timw/stickran3a.png[/img]


If you want to use an image on your computer go to image shack, press browse, click the image file, upload it, then go to direct to image to get the url.

The other image is youtube. It works the same way just you must use youtube tags. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDcHxqE7GGA[/youtube]



Part 4: page formats
These organize type without changing it.

Block quote organizes a group of text in a way similar to code, but it doesn't disable bbcs and it has no box.
[blockquote][i]La Peau de chagrin is an 1831 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850). Set in early 19th-century Paris, it tells the story of a young man who finds a magic piece of shagreen that fulfills his every desire. For each wish granted, however, the skin shrinks and consumes a portion of his physical energy. La Peau de chagrin belongs to the Études philosophiques group of Balzac's sequence of novels, La Comédie humaine. Although the novel uses fantastic elements, its main focus is a realistic portrayal of the excesses of bourgeois materialism. The book's central theme is the conflict between desire and longevity. The magic skin represents the owner's life force, which is depleted through every expression of will, especially when it is employed for the acquisition of power. Ignoring a caution from the shopkeeper who offers the skin to him, the protagonist greedily surrounds himself with wealth, only to find himself miserable and decrepit at the story's end. La Peau de chagrin firmly established Balzac as a writer of significance in France and abroad. His social circle widened significantly, and he was sought eagerly by publishers for future projects. It inspired Giselher Klebe's opera Die tödlichen Wünsche and may have influenced Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. (more...)[/i][/blockquote]

Quote is blockquote in a box.You can also add someones name, but that is difficult and just use the quote button by someones post to get the info.[quote]La Peau de chagrin is an 1831 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850).

Here are 3 things that align text.
[left]I owe you lots.
And lots.  
Of chocolate.[/left]
[center]I owe you lots.
And lots.  
Of chocolate.[/center]
[right]I owe you lots.
And lots.  
Of chocolate.[/right]

I owe you lots.
And lots.
Of chocolate.

I owe you lots.
And lots.
Of chocolate.

I owe you lots.
And lots.
Of chocolate.

And hear is boring line break. Notice how it is only one tag. That is because it does alter text in any way. [hr]

---

Part 5: lists and tables

These involve tags between tags that activate only when between the tags. Try not to get confused.

First is the list. It has tags similar to linebreak in between the tags. Each [/li][li] is a bullet point and therefor an entry in the list.
[ul]
[li]Hello
[/li][li]I like you
[/li][li]come now
[/li][li] had enough?
[/li][li] too bad
[/li][li] end of list
[/li][/ul]

• Hello
  
• I like you
  
• come now
  
• had enough?
  
• too bad
  
• end of list
  

Now those listo forbidden tables. Put the text for the box n:n in the nth [td][/td] in the nth [tr][/tr].
[table][tr][td]1:1[/td][td]1:2[/td][/tr][tr][td]2:1[/td][td]2:2[/td][/tr][/table]

1:1	1:2
2:1	2:2

Part 6: censors

Censors are words that change into other words. In sigs they only transform when viewed, but the actual censor is transformed in posts. In codes make sure they touch the tag to stop them from censoring. Here there are (note: I' will not include peoples badge censors for obvious reasons) :

[GGoodie]

Do you want help making it?

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

I need to know which tags are nestable though.

And I will need help with tables, page formatting, and some of the customizables, such as glow and shadow.

Did it.

NOW I KNOW I CAN PROGRAM! I CAN DO ANYTHING! I ACTUALY FIGURED OUT ALL THE BBCs!

[PickleMan]

BBCODE is a mini version of HTML, which is not programming.

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

I know. Its web scripting. i just feel happy I got this far. By can I mean I have the ability to learn how to program.

[GGoodie]

I thought the table code seemed familiar, its HTML. I had to make a table with a similar code. (just a lot more complicated)

[n2tl]

Hey,
Nice job I have a suggestion though...
Instead of using [code]
You should use No bbc tags ( [noubbc] )
that way you could set it out as:

[b]Hello![/b]=Hello!

or somthing like that, I hope this helps

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

the code tags also make them easy to copy and paste, stands out more, and noubbc is not as accessible. So code is better for the guide.

So basically, now we can do awesomestuff? ^O M _G
