[bold]This is within bold tags.[/bold]
This isn’t.
It doesn’t appear to work. Any ideas?
Try making the b uppercase B, or perhaps the entire word BOLD.
Bold tags are just the letter b. Bold = [noparse]Bold[/noparse] You can find a list of all supported BB tags here:
** Lowercase b. **
Huh. I could have sworn that the HTML tags were the full word, like the quote tag. Either I’m misremembering or something changed.
There’s where you’re confusion comes from. The board doesn’t use HTML tags. It uses BB tags.
Uppercase B or lowercase B, it doesn’t matter.
[.B]Uppercase B or lowercase B, it doesn’t matter.[./b]
I’ve only ever used BB tags, and I may be talking out my ass, but my impression of the difference between HTML tags and BB tags was that while BB uses [these][/these], HTML uses <these></these>.
Also, as Doug K. points out, we don’t use HTML here.
I don’t know that “bold” has ever been valid HTML, either. At least since I started using it in the 90s. “strong” was valid, or “b” but never " bold".
CSS does have “bold” as a valid font-weight. But still…not BB code, or HTML

Always wanted to try that
Yeah, it works, but certain letters are hard to read. I kinda prefer #cccc00 for yellow on white. And I think DarkOrange looks more like orange.
(No, I don’t know why there’s not a DarkYellow.)

Dang, there is an indigo attribute … thanks for the tips
I use a Firefox plugin that auto-BBCodes for me. This will not help for a Tapatalk user, however.
No it doesn’t. Which is a pain. They only have 2 BB codes that you can generate automatically, url and img. They have 3 different ways to add photos, besides the image choice. You would think they could find some way to add the bills or italics codes.
Which one? Sounds interesting–if only to look at the code and see how it works, since I probably wouldn’t use it much.
Correct. “Bold” is an attribute, first defined for the HTML <b> tag. The <b> tag later deprecated (and now changed in HTML5 as a semantic tag). The original intent of <b> was replaced by <strong>.
