Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and secondly the image you display must already be available on the internet (it cannot exist only on your computer for example, unless you run a webserver!). To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with <strong>[img][/img]</strong> tags. For example:<br /><br /><strong>[img]</strong>https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png<strong>[/img]</strong><br /><br />As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a <strong>[url][/url]</strong> tag if you wish, e.g.<br /><br /><strong>[url=https://www.phpbb.com/][img]</strong>https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png<strong>[/img][/url]</strong><br /><br />would generate:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.phpbb.com/"><img src="https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png" alt="" /></a>',

In addition you can disable BBCode on a per post basis via the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than &lt; and &gt; and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. Depending on the template you are using you may find adding BBCode to your posts is made much easier through a clickable interface above the message area on the posting form. Even with this you may find the following guide useful.',

+
+ 'HELP_BBCODE_LINKS_BASIC_ANSWER' => 'phpBB BBCode supports a number of ways of creating URIs (Uniform Resource Indicators) better known as URLs.<ul><li>The first of these uses the <strong>[url=][/url]</strong> tag, whatever you type after the = sign will cause the contents of that tag to act as a URL. For example to link to phpBB.com you could use:<br /><br /><strong>[url=https://www.phpbb.com/]</strong>Visit phpBB!<strong>[/url]</strong><br /><br />This would generate the following link, <a href="https://www.phpbb.com/">Visit phpBB!</a> Please notice that the link opens in the same window or a new window depending on the users browser preferences.</li><li>If you want the URL itself displayed as the link you can do this by simply using:<br /><br /><strong>[url]</strong>https://www.phpbb.com/<strong>[/url]</strong><br /><br />This would generate the following link, <a href="https://www.phpbb.com/">https://www.phpbb.com/</a></li><li>Additionally, phpBB features something called <i>Magic Links</i>, this will turn any syntactically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://. For example typing www.phpbb.com into your message will automatically lead to <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/">www.phpbb.com</a> being output when you view the message.</li><li>The same thing applies equally to email addresses, you can either specify an address explicitly for example:<br /><br /><strong>[email]</strong>no.one@domain.adr<strong>[/email]</strong><br /><br />which will output <a href="mailto:no.one@domain.adr">no.one@domain.adr</a> or you can just type no.one@domain.adr into your message and it will be automatically converted when you view.</li></ul>As with all the BBCode tags you can wrap URLs around any of the other tags such as <strong>[img][/img]</strong> (see next entry), <strong>[b][/b]</strong>, etc. As with the formatting tags it is up to you to ensure the correct open and close order is following, for example:<br /><br /><strong>[url=https://www.phpbb.com/][img]</strong>https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png<strong>[/url][/img]</strong><br /><br />is <span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span> correct which may lead to your post being deleted so take care.',

To create an unordered list you use <strong>[list][/list]</strong> and define each item within the list using <strong>[*]</strong>. For example to list your favourite colours you could use:<br /><br /><strong>[list]</strong><br /><strong>[*]</strong>Red<br /><strong>[*]</strong>Blue<br /><strong>[*]</strong>Yellow<br /><strong>[/list]</strong><br /><br />This would generate the following list:<ul><li>Red</li><li>Blue</li><li>Yellow</li></ul><br />Alternatively you can specify the list’s bullet style using <strong>[list=disc][/list]</strong>, <strong>[list=circle][/list]</strong>, or <strong>[list=square][/list]</strong>.',

This method allows you to quote with a reference to a person or whatever else you choose to put! For example to quote a piece of text Mr. Blobby wrote you would enter:<br /><br /><strong>[quote=&quot;Mr. Blobby&quot;]</strong>The text Mr. Blobby wrote would go here<strong>[/quote]</strong><br /><br />The resulting output will automatically add &quot;Mr. Blobby wrote:&quot; before the actual text. Remember you <strong>must</strong> include the quotation marks &quot;&quot; around the name you are quoting, they are not optional.</li><li>The second method allows you to blindly quote something. To utilise this enclose the text in <strong>[quote][/quote]</strong> tags. When you view the message it will simply show the text within a quotation block.</li></ul>',

+ 'HELP_BBCODE_TEXT_COLOR_ANSWER' => 'To alter the colour or size of your text the following tags can be used. Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system: <ul><li>Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in <strong>[color=][/color]</strong>. You can specify either a recognised colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, e.g. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:<br /><br /><strong>[color=red]</strong>Hello!<strong>[/color]</strong><br /><br />or<br /><br /><strong>[color=#FF0000]</strong>Hello!<strong>[/color]</strong><br /><br />Both will output <span style="color:red">Hello!</span></li><li>Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using <strong>[size=][/size]</strong>. This tag is dependent on the template the user has selected but the recommended format is a numerical value representing the text size in percent, starting at 20 (very small) through to 200 (very large) by default. For example:<br /><br /><strong>[size=30]</strong>SMALL<strong>[/size]</strong><br /><br />will generally be <span style="font-size:30%;">SMALL</span><br /><br />whereas:<br /><br /><strong>[size=200]</strong>HUGE!<strong>[/size]</strong><br /><br />will be <span style="font-size:200%;">HUGE!</span></li></ul>',

Remember it is up to you, the poster, to ensure tags are closed correctly. For example the following is incorrect:<br /><br /><strong>[b][u]</strong>This is wrong<strong>[/b][/u]</strong>',
