BBCode

From NewspeakWiki

BBCode is an abbreviation for Bulletin Board Code, the lightweight markup language used to format posts in many message boards. It is also called forum codes. The available tags are usually indicated by rectangular brackets surrounding a keyword, and they are parsed by the message board system before being translated into a markup language that web browsers understand, usually HTML or XHTML.

This is a list of some of BBCode tags used on the Newspeak Dictionary BBS.

[edit] EQUOTE

Similar to [QUOTE] tag, with a few small differences in output. The text displays in 13px (instead of 11px) and on a tan background (instead of white).

Use this tag when quoting an external site or article. The larger text size makes it easier to read than with the standard [quote] tag.
