BBCode Guide

[Brother Tyler]

This topic provides information on how to use all of the BBCodes available at the Bolter & Chainsword.

 

Each post starts with a link back to this index, followed by the name of the BBCode in large text. This is followed by a brief description of how the BBCode works and provides formatting. An example is then shown first in code, then the result in a post. On occasion, multiple examples are provided. Relevant notes are provided. In some cases, examples of advanced uses are provided, first as code and then the actual appearance in a post.

 

BBCode Name

 

The base code for the BBCode will appear here.

Description of how the BBCode works for formatting.

 

An example of the BBCode will appear in a code box. You can highlight and copy examples in code boxes for your own use.

Immediately below the example in the code box will be the exact same BBCode, activated (i.e., not in a code box). This is how the code in the box above will actually appear when the software applies the BBCode formatting.

 

If there are any relevant notes, they will appear in italics after the examples. This may include bugs or notes when BBCodes aren't functioning.

 

Examples of advanced usages may appear below notes and basic examples. In cases where BBCodes are used relative to other elements of a post, lorem ipsum text will appear to represent the other content. Examples of this include the clearfloat and left/right sidebars.

 

 IMPORTANT 

 

Invision has indicated that support for BBCodes will be discontinued at some time in the future.

 

 IMPORTANT 

 

The software does not preserve the BBCode in your content. Instead, when you hit the "Submit" button, the software formats the content using the BBCodes. If you go back in to edit the content, you will not see the BBCode (though you can use BBCode in your edits).

Acronym

 

[acronym={option}]{content}[/acronym]

The acronym tag allows a post author to provide clarity when using an acronym. Text to which the BBCode is applied will be underlined, indicating to viewers that the text is active and that they should hold the mouse over it. When a viewer hovers the mouse over the text to which the BBCode is applied, the content provided in the code appears. The author should enter the spelled out term from which the acronym is created (e.g., when hovering the mouse over "TDA" the term "tactical dreadnought armour" appears). The viewer can make the dialog box disappear by clicking the mouse/pointer.

 

[acronym=tactical dreadnought armour]TDA[/acronym]

TDA

Note that this BBCode can also be used to provide a definition/clarification for a term, as in the example below.

 

Which of the [acronym=The Successors of the 1st (Dark Angels) Legion collectively refer to themselves as "the Unforgiven," though the meaning behind the term is unknown to the larger Imperium of Mankind.]Unforgiven Chapters[/acronym] is your favorite?

Which of the Unforgiven Chapters is your favorite?

Background Color

 

[background={option}]{content}[/background]

This code allows the author to change the background color of text from that of the skin being used to a specific color. The author may use either the plain English name of basic web-friendly colors or the hexadecimal code for a color.

 

[background="green"]text on a green background, plain English[/background]

text on a green background, plain English

 

[background=#008800]text on a green background, hexadecimal[/background]

text on a green background, hexadecimal

When using this BBCode, contrast with the font color is an important consideration. The board software will automatically use the default font color for the skin (the default site skin is white with black text, whereas the most commonly used skin is dark grey with white text). If both white and black font provide sufficient contrast with the background color you've chosen, you don't need to do anything. If one of those colors doesn't work, you should force the other color (or some other color of your choosing) using the color text/font color BBCode.

You can find hexadecimal codes for many miniature paints here.

Bold Text

 

[b]{content}[/b]

This BBCode allows you to add emphasis to text by making the font appear in a bold weight.

 

[b]This text is bold.[/b]

Center Alignment

 

[center]{content}[/center]

This code allows you to align the content so that the center of each line of content lines up with the center of each other line.

[code]{content}[/code]

This BBCode allows you to show strings of text utilizing BBCode without that BBCode working, with everything inside the "code" tags appearing inside a code box.

Font

 

[font={option}]{content}[/font]

This BBCode will allow you to specify the font that will appear for the text to which it is applied, overriding the default font.

 

[font=comic sans ms]This is the Comic Sans MS font.[/font]

This is the Comic Sans MS font.

When using the WYSIWYG editor, the board software will automatically supplement the chosen font with an alternate choice, as well as with a font class designator (e.g., monospace, cursive, serif, or sans serif) to provide browsers with alternatives in case the chosen font is not available, or to support browser customizations. In the example above, the board software automatically added the cursive font class designator. When creating the example using the WYSIWYG editor, the BBCode result is shown below:

This BBCode allows you to provide spoiler information in a post while keeping that information secret until a member chooses to reveal it by clicking on the "show" button that will appear in the viewer's browser. This is useful when discussing fiction.

Strike Through Text

Subscript Text

 

[sub]{content}[/sub]

This BBCode allows you to show subscript text. Subscripted text appears below the baseline of the regular text and is often used in formulae, mathematical expressions, and to indicate systems of counting (i.e., decimal, binary, hexadecimal, etc.).

 

Normal text[sub]subscripted[/sub]

Normal text_subscripted

Note that subscript text can be combined with other BBCodes for advanced effects, including hyperlinking.

Superscript Text

 

[sup]{content}[/sup]

This BBCode allows you to show superscript text. Superscripted text appears above the baseline of the regular text and is often used in formulae, mathematical expressions, and to indicate footnotes and references.

 

Normal text[sup]superscripted[/sup]

Normal text^{superscripted}

Note that superscript text can be combined with other BBCodes for advanced effects, including hyperlinking.

 Text Color

 

[color={option}]{content}[/color]

This BBCode allows you to specify the color of the text, instead of using the default text for the skin. The "option" specifies the color the text, using either plain English (for a limited selection of web-friendly colors) or hexadecimal (six characters, the first two for the red spectrum, the second two for the green spectrum, and the last two for the blue spectrum - the combination of which allows for the full spectrum of colors visible to the human eye).

 

[color=red]This text is red, using the word red in the option.[/color]

This text is red, using the word red in the option.

 

[color=FF0000]This text is red, using the hexadecimal code for red in the option.[/color]

This text is red, using the hexadecimal code for red in the option.

Special care must be taken when using this BBCode as different members are viewing the site using different skins. While a color might work fine in the standard Carbon skin (with a dark grey background), that same color might not work so well for a member viewing the site using the mobile skin, which has a white background. It is often advisable to use this BBCode in conjunction with the background color BBCode (when the text is in a line of more text) or one of the header BBCodes (when the text is used as a header).

You can find hexadecimal codes for many miniature paints here.

Underlined Text

 

[u]{content}[/u]

This BBCode allows you to add emphasis to text by making the font appear underlined.

 

[u]This text is underlined.[/u]

This text is underlined.
