BBCode tags are a way to specify what kind of formatting you want where on various pages on this project. It's similar to HTML, although simplified for use here. The tags start with a [ (where you would have used < in HTML) and stop with ] (where you would have used > in HTML).

Examples:

• [b]Bold[/b] to Bold
• [i]Italic[/i] to Italic
• [u]Underline[/u] to Underline
• [size=15]Big text[/size] to Big text
• [color=red]Red text[/color] to Red text
• [url=http://google.com/]Google[/url] to Google
• [quote]Quoted[/quote] for quoted blocks of text
• [img]http://some.web.site/pic.jpg[/img] to display an image
• [code]Code snippet here[/code] to display some code
• [pre]Pre-formatted text here[/pre] to display some pre-formatted text

Lists are also possible:
[list]
*Item 1
*Item 2
[/list] to:

• Item 1
• Item 2

Please note if you mess up and don't close a tag or don't specify a parameter correctly, the raw tag itself will display instead of the formatted text.
