Is there a handy reference to all of the various coding tags used in messages

[Buck_Godot]

Is there a link that presents all of the various coding tags that work on the message board.

For example

[QUOTE]
, **, [SPOILER] etc.

While we’re on the subject, what’s the default font size? How do some poster manage teeny-tiny little footnote comments?

If you use the standard reply box(not “Quick Reply”), there’s a drop-down option for font size.

Let’s see. I always thought the default size was 3, but it actually looks like the default is slightly smaller than 3:

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 1

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 2

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 3

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 4

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 5

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 6

Default font text. Text sized by BB code - Size 7

They either use the size tags shown at the link in TubaDiva’s post #2 above, or use one of the superscript or subscript tag shown at the same link.

Or all of the above:

UIAM the default size differs between v3.7.3 and SultanBugs. This becomes extremely inconvenient when poster’s intent is Use the font-size one step bigger than the default.

In HTML, there is a “big” tag (or even “size=+2”) to make the font-size bigger relative to the local default. With SultanBugs we’ve lost that ability here. If I code Size=3, Sultanbuggers won’t see any enlargement, while Size=4 makes the text silly-large for a 3.7.3’er.
