+ 1 => 'To alter the color 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, eg. #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 />will both 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 pixels, starting at 1 (so tiny you will not see it) through to 29 (very large). For example:<br /><br /><strong>[size=9]</strong>SMALL<strong>[/size]</strong><br /><br />will generally be <span style="font-size:9px;">SMALL</span><br /><br />whereas:<br /><br /><strong>[size=24]</strong>HUGE!<strong>[/size]</strong><br /><br />will be <span style="font-size:24px;">HUGE!</span></li></ul>'

Courier type font you should enclose the text in <strong>[code][/code]</strong> tags, eg.<br /><br /><strong>[code]</strong>echo "This is some code";<strong>[/code]</strong><br /><br />All formatting used within <strong>[code][/code]</strong> tags is retained when you later view it.'

+ 1 => 'BBCode supports two types of lists, unordered and ordered. They are essentially the same as their HTML equivalents. An unordered list ouputs each item in your list sequentially one after the other indenting each with a bullet character. 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>'

+ 1 => '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=http://www.phpbb.com/]</strong>Visit phpBB!<strong>[/url]</strong><br /><br />This would generate the following link, <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_blank">Visit phpBB!</a> You will notice the link opens in a new window so the user can continue browsing the forums if they wish.</li><li>If you want the URL itself displayed as the link you can do this by simply using:<br /><br /><strong>[url]</strong>http://www.phpbb.com/<strong>[/url]</strong><br /><br />This would generate the following link, <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_blank">http://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/" target="_blank">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=http://www.google.com/][img]</strong>http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif<strong>[/url][/img]</strong><br /><br />is <u>not</u> correct which may lead to your post being deleted so take care.'

+ 1 => 'phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. 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>http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif<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, eg.<br /><br /><strong>[url=http://www.google.com/][img]</strong>http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif<strong>[/img][/url]</strong><br /><br />would generate:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" alt="" /></a>'
