// DEVELOPERS PLEASE NOTE 
//
// Placeholders can now contain order information, e.g. instead of
// 'Page %s of %s' you can (and should) write 'Page %1$s of %2$s', this allows
// translators to re-order the output of data while ensuring it remains correct
//
// You do not need this where single placeholders are used, e.g. 'Message %d' is fine
// equally where a string contains only two placeholders which are used to wrap text
// in a url you again do not need to specify an order e.g., 'Click %sHERE%s' is fine

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 braces [ 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.'

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 <b>[color=][/color]</b>. 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 /><b>[color=red]</b>Hello!<b>[/color]</b><br /><br />or<br /><br /><b>[color=#FF0000]</b>Hello!<b>[/color]</b><br /><br />will both output <span style=\"color:red\">Hello!</span></li><li>Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using <b>[size=][/size]</b>. This tag is dependent on the template you are using 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 /><b>[size=9]</b>SMALL<b>[/size]</b><br /><br />will generally be <span style=\"font-size:9px\">SMALL</span><br /><br />whereas:<br /><br /><b>[size=24]</b>HUGE!<b>[/size]</b><br /><br />will be <span style=\"font-size:24px\">HUGE!</span></li></ul>'

For example to link to phpBB.com you could use:<br /><br /><b>[url=http://www.phpbb.com/]</b>Visit phpBB!<b>[/url]</b><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 /><b>[url]</b>http://www.phpbb.com/<b>[/url]</b><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 syntatically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://.
