BBcode

BBcode is a text format used widely on forums across the internet. (The 'BB' stands for 'Bulletin Board' which is the same thing as a 'Forum') Anyways, the main purpose for BBcode is to allow users to add styles/effects to their forum text. Very often a user may wish to make a word bold or underline a sentance. That is where BBcode comes in, users can add small 'tags' to their code to make this happen.

This is an example of what a user might type if they wanted to make a post with bold text:

The fifth word is [b]bold[/b].

This is an example of what a user might type if they wanted to make a post a link:
