What Is UBBCODE?


			UBBCode™ is a variation on the HTML tags you may already be familiar with. Basically, it allows you to add functionality or style to your message that would normally require HTML URL Hyperlinking You do not need to use any special code to create a hyperlink. Simply type the complete URL in either of the following manners and the hyperlink will be created automatically: http://www.yourURL.com www.yourURL.com Notice that you can either use the complete http:// address or shorten it to the www domain. If the site does not begin with "www", you must use the complete "http://" address. Also, you may use https and ftp URL prefixes in auto-link mode. You can also have true hyperlinks using the [url] code. Just use the following format: [url=http://www.scipilot.com] SCI PILOT [/url] Email Links To add a hyperlinked email address within your message, just encase the email address as shown in the following example [email]web@scipilot.com[/email] Bold and Italics You can make italicized text or make text bold by encasing the applicable sections of your text with either the [b] [/b] or [i] [/i] tags. Hello, [b]James[/b] Hello, [i]Mary[/i] Bullets / Lists You can make bulleted lists or ordered lists (by number or letter). Unordered, bulleted list: [list] [] This is the first bulleted item. [] This is the second bulleted item. [/list] This produces: This is the first bulleted item. This is the second bulleted item. Note that you must include a closing [/list] when you end each list. Making ordered lists is just as easy. Just add either [LIST=A] or [LIST=1]. Typing [List=A] will produce a list from A to Z. Using [List=1] will produce numbered lists. Adding Images To add a graphic within your message, just encase the URL of the graphic image as shown in the following example: [img]http://www.scipilot.com/img_main/b_feedba.gif [/img] In the example above, the UBBCode™ automatically makes the graphic visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code. Quoting Other Messages To reference something specific that someone has posted, just cut and paste the applicable verbiage and enclose it as shown below: [QUOTE] Not a bad place... if you have the right equipment.[/QUOTE] Common UBBCode™ Issues: [url] www.scipilot.com [/url] don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to. [email]web@scipilot.com [email] the end brackets must include a forward slash ( [/email]) UBBCode™ is not case-sensitive
