What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can actually use BBCode in your posts on the forum.
Text Formatting
How to create bold, italic and underlined text
BBCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways:
• To make a piece of text bold enclose it in [.b][/b], e.g.
[b.]iGPManager[/b] without point
will become iGPManager
• For underlining use [.u][/u], for example:
[u.]Well race![/u] without point
becomes Well race!
How to change the text colour or size
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:
Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in [.color=][/color]. 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:
• Colour
[.color=red]Ferrari[/color] without point
Ferrari
[.color=#FF0000]Ferrari[/color] without point
Ferrari
• Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using [.size=][/size]. 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:
[.size=30]WINNER[/size] without point
will generally be SMALL
Linking to another site
BBCode supports a number of ways of creating URIs (Uniform Resource Indicators) better known as URLs.
• The first of these uses the [.url=][/url] tag. For example to link to iGPManager you could use:
[.url=https://www.igpmanager.com/]Visit iGPManager![/url] without point
Visit iGPManager!
Adding an image to a post
• To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with [.img][/img] tags. For example:
[.img]https://igpmanager.azureedge.net/igp/download/logo/logo1-colour.gif[/img] without point
