I remember someone asking for a tutorial on the vB codes on the board. Well, hopefully, these will all be clearer.
Here we go…
bold words italic words underlined words
[/quote]
by itself makes a seperator line
fixed font typing
Reminder: You have to have the quotes. There should be no spaces left or right of the = sign. Also, the URL has to be complete, don’t leave off the http:// part on it.
You can also just type the complete URL on the reply window and the board will automatically link the link, if you check the option “Automatically parse URLs”
[ul] [li]part one []part two [/ul] []by itself makes a dot[/li]
Reminder : Don’t forget to put the closing list code in or else the rest of the post under it will be double indented.
Ordered lists :
Replace # with these to get the effects:
with A makes a list from A to Z
[list=A] [li]part one part two [/list=A][/li]
with 1 makes a list starting with 1
[list=1] [li]part one part two [/list=1][/li]
Reminder: don’t forget the =A or =1 part in the closing code, or else the lists will be stair-stepped.
words [sub]subscriped words[/sub] words [sup]superscripted words[/sup] words
[sub]You can also use these codes if you want some parts of the text to be a font size smaller.[/sub]
:o 
;j :eek: 
:mad: :rolleyes: 
:wally
That should be everything, I hope.

Good stuff Louie. Thanks!

Of course I want to incorporate this into our updated FAQ. Giving you proper credit, too.

Thanks, Louie! I do wanna comment though, that you can make nested lists, too.
[list=1]
[li]Fruit[/li][list=a]
[li]Oranges[/li][ul]
[li]Valencia[/li][li]Navel[/li][/ul]
[li]Apples[/li][ul]
[li]Macintosh[/li][li]Granny Smith[/li][/ul]
[li]Bananas[/li][/list=a]
[li]Vegetables[/li][list=a]
[li]Corn[/li][li]Peas[/li][li]Carrots[/li][/list=a]
[li]Meat[/li][list=a]
[li]Beef[/li][li]Veal[/li][li]Lamb[/li][/list=a]
[/list=1]
Here’s a trick to show coding tips in plain text and also as interpreted.
What Uart did was add an “empty” pair of commands to break up the real commands being displayed.
He used [i][/i]
His quote above was coded like this:
You can use [b**] [b[i**][/i**]] to bold [/b**]and [sub**][sub[i**][/i**]][/sub**] to shrink, and :[i**][/i**]) for :), etc.
Apart from the “empty pair” trick, you should be able to just use HTML escapes for literal syntax, too - [ is [. Let’s see if that works.
No, it doesn’t. vBulletin escapes the ampersands for you. My apologies, and I withdraw the suggestion. Somebody might point out to vBulletin that they honor HTML character escapes in their preview feature, but not in the final article.
You all are certainly welcome.
Hey, that’s a pretty nifty trick, bartflyer
…er, barflyer. sorry.
