BBCode stands for Bulletin Board Code. You can easily use it to format texts, make lists and links while posting messages to Tabworld's forums (HTML code is stripped from the messages).

You can insert BBCode to the text by pressing any of the buttons in the BBCode column. Below is a complete list of all of the tags.

Please note that all tags must be in lower case letters !

Bold, Italic and Underline


The Bold, Italic and Underline -buttons inserts the corresponding text tags, [b], [/b], [i], [/i] and [u], [/u]. The text which you want to format needs to be placed within these tags.

Example: This is [b]my bold text[/b] here
Output: This is my bold text here

You can also mix all of these to create for example underlined italic, bold italic, or underlined bold text.

Example: This is [b]My bold [u]and underlined [i]plus italic[/i] text here[/u][/b]
Output: This is My bold and underlined plus italic text here

Email tag


With the email tag you can insert a direct clickable email -link instead of just typing your e-mail address. The syntax for the tags is: [email=Type mail address here] Type link text here [/email]

Example: [email=webmaster@thetabworld.com] Send me e-mail ! [/email]
Output: Send me e-mail !

Link tag


With the link tag, you can insert a hyperlink to another website. The syntax is similar to the email -tag:
[url=Type full URL here] Type link text here [/url]

Example: [url=http://www.thetabworld.com] Visit Tabworld ! [/url]
Output: Visit Tabworld !

NOTE ! The "http://" part is REQUIRED in order for the link to work !

List tag


The list tag allows you to create a nicely formatted, bulleted list. The syntax for the list is:
[list]
[*]First list item
[*]Second list item
[/list]

Example:
[list]
[*]Guitar Tabs
[*]Bass tabs
[*]Drum tabs
[*]Lyrics
[/list]

Output:
Guitar Tabs
Bass Tabs
Drum tabs
Lyrics


As you propably guessed, you can add as many items as you wish to the list. Simply begin the line with [*].

Quote tag


With Quote -tags you can quote other texts to emphasize the quote better through the text. Quote syntax:
[quote> Type / paste quote here [/quote]

Example:
[quote] Tabworld is a nice source for tabs [/quote]
Output:
quote:

Tabworld is a nice source for tabs


Format tag


To display text that needs to be displayed exactly like it's written (like tabs and such), Format tag needs to be used. The syntax is:
[code] Type pre-formatted text here [/code]

Example:
[code]
Intro:
|--------------|-------------|----------------|----------| |-1------3-1-0-|-------------|----------------|----------| |--------------|-0---2-2--0--|-7---5-4------7-|-7-5-4----| |--------------|-------------|---------5-7----|-------5--| |--------------|-------------|----------------|----------| |--------------|-------------|----------------|----------|
[/code]


Output:
Intro:
|--------------|-------------|----------------|----------|
|-1------3-1-0-|-------------|----------------|----------|
|--------------|-0---2-2--0--|-7---5-4------7-|-7-5-4----|
|--------------|-------------|---------5-7----|-------5--|
|--------------|-------------|----------------|----------|
|--------------|-------------|----------------|----------|
		
Very useful if you ask me ! =)

Image tag


The only way to add an image to your post is to use the Image -tag. The syntax is following:
[img] Type full image URL here [/img]

Example: [img] http://www.thetabworld.com/kuvat/message_icon14.gif [/img]
Output:

NOTE ! The "http://" part is REQUIRED in order for the image to work !
