Let’s say we want to make the text below in bold:
“This is an example.”
We have to use the BBCode like in the previous examples, with “[COMMAND] object [END OF COMMAND]” The COMMAND for making text bold is... well, “b”. And instead of saying “END OF”, use a slash (it looks like this / ).
So, here it is (with the asterisk for sake of example):
[b*]”This is an example.”[/b*]
What it looks like with asterisks removed:
”This is an example.”
See how there was the COMMAND ( [b*] ), OBJECT (“This is an example”), and END OF COMMAND ( [/b*] )?
====================================
Let’s see another example. This time, we will make some text in italics. The COMMAND for italicised text is “i”
[i*]”This is an example.”[/i*]
Without asterisks:
”This is an example.”
Starting to get it now? BBCode isn’t really all that complicated.
====================================
Let’s try one last example, by posting an image.
To post an image, you must first get the image URL (Uniform Resource Locator). An URL is sort of an “address” on the Internet, making it easy to find things. Every website, image, has an URL. You can find the URL of an image by right-clicking an image and copying the URL.
To use BBCode to post an image, the COMMAND is “img”. The OBJECT is the image’s URL. See the example below:
[img*]
th00.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2012/057...y_ambris-d4r3ibw.png[/img*]
Without asterisks:
And voilà! You have an image!
