PostMarkup BBCode Usage Guide

Font and text formatting

Use the following tags to create bold, italic, underline, and strikeout text.

[b]Bold[/b]

[i]Italic[/i]

[u]Underline[/u]

[s]Strikethrough[/s]

Links

You can link to another page or site using either the link or url tags. To link a section of text to another page put the URL as a parameter in the tag.

[url]http://www.google.com[/url]

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/]Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.[/url]

Images

To insert images use the img tag. You can also nest an img tag inside of a url tag to link an image.

[img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img]

http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif

Quoting

Use the quote tag to quote another person's text. You can optionally provide a reference.

[quote]Hello world![/quote]

[quote="Epimenides"]The Cretans are always liars.[/quote]

Lists

Lists can be created using the list and * tags. You can change the style of the list by providing an optional parameter (1 for numerical, a for lower-case alphabetical, A for upper-case alphabetical).

[list]
[*]Default item 1
[*]Default item 2
[/list]

[list=1]
[*]Numbered item 1
[*]Numbered item 2
[/list]

[list=a]
[*]Alphabetical item 1

[/list]

Code formatting

The code tag is used to format source code or other text data. You can optionally specify a language to activate syntax highlighting for that language (if available).

[code]This text will be monospaced.[/code]

This text will be monospaced.

def main():
    print "This is some Python code"
[/code]
