BB Codes For Better Games

Our forum is equipped with both basic and custom BB codes to enhance your Play by Post experience.

Basic codes include bolding, italics, underlining, quoting, code tags, lists, images, urls, and font sizes and colors. Our custom codes add horizontal rules, text alignment (center, left, right), spoiler and strikethrough tags for secrecy, subscript and superscript, tabs, and tables.

Either use the buttons at the top of the post form (hover for info), or type in the code using SQUARE brackets instead of angled brackets. Samples of our custom tags are also below. An overview of how to use basic BB code is at area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode .

HORIZONTAL RULE
Remember to use a closing tag.

[hr][/hr]

[hr][/hr]
SUPERSCRIPT & SUBSCRIPT

[sup]TEXT[/sup] [sub]TEXT[/sub]
This is a line with [sup]superscript[/sup] text.
And this is a line with [sub]subscript[/sub] text.

TEXT ALIGNMENT

[left]TEXT[/left] [center]TEXT[/center] [right]TEXT[/right]
[left]This is a line with left-aligned text.[/left]
[center]And a line with centered text.[/center]
[right]And a line with right-aligned text.[/right]

TABS
Remember to use a closing tag.

[tab][/tab]TEXT

[tab][/tab]This text is tabbed.

FONT STYLE
Add the name of the font after the equal sign. See ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html for common fonts ... the font has to be installed on the viewer's computer already to work, so system fonts are a good bet.

[style=FONT]TEXT[/style]

[style=Impact]This text is in the Impact font.[/style]

STRIKETHROUGH

[strike]TEXT[/strike]

[strike]This text has a strikethrough applied.[/strike]

SPOILERS
Click text several times to reveal.

[spoiler]TEXT[/spoiler]

[spoiler]This text is hidden because it's a spoiler.[/spoiler]

TABLES
We have two versions of the Table tag ... the standard one and a special one that adds a border. See the auto-generator at teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode- ... rator.aspx to get quick and easy BB code for your table.
