More HTML coding How-To
The coding used on the bulletin board -- called HTML -- is pretty simple, once you get the "logic" of it. Everthing is between square brackets, there is a pretty intuitive command for each thing, and the code always ends with the same command preceeded by a backwards slash /
Some examples, changing square to squiggly brackets so you can see it:
image code is IMG, coded {IMG}URL-of-image{/IMG}
link code is URL, coded {URL}address-of-web-page{/URL}
fancy link code is URL=http://www.text-of-the-link.com, then you put in some text that becomes the link, like this. The coding, changing square to squiggly brackets so you can see it, is {url=http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=77}like this{/url} I usually copy the URL from the address box of my browser.
italics command is I, coded {I}text-to-be-italicized{/I}
underline command is U, coded {U}text-to-be-underlined{/U}
bold command is B, coded {B}text-to-be-bolded{/B}
The command can actually be either in capitals or in lower case letters.
Here is a link to a page on the old UBB board, explaining how to add HTML coding to a message, and giving more codes.
