BBCode guide for www.falmouthcc.org.uk What is BBCode? BBCode is a system of adding formatting and other non-textual content to a text on a bulletin board post. It is designed as a simple way to give posters more control over the posts they submit without compromising security. Standard BBCode BBCode uses a tag system similar to HTML. BBCode tags are identified by being enclosed in square brackets. Normal paragraph text has no tags, which means that anyone can write plain text without having to learn any tags. To put tags around a section of text, place an opening tag at the start of the section, and a closing tag at the end. [b]text[/b] Bold text. [i]text[/i] Italic text. [u]text[/u] Underlined text. [list] [*]List item [*]Another list item [*]Yet another list item [/list] List. Creates a bulleted list [list=1] [list=i] [list=I] [list=a] [list=A] Ordered lists.
