How to use BBC tags
« on: Thursday 16 February 06 07:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I really struggle trying to use the tags when posting. How exactly do I use bold and a bullet point list. I got in a right mess this morning and gave up in the end using a dash and capitals instead.

I did manage a glowing, bold, pink, moving marquee a couple of times but I don't know how I managed that and it took ages. It really can't be that complicated. Can it? I am supposed to be computer literate!

Thanks

You could either highlight the section you want to alter with the mouse and then click on the tag you want to apply or if you hover the mouse over each tag you will see the appropriate commands for each and you can apply this yourself when typing

for example to get bold its [ b ] bold on and bold off [ /b]
italics [ i ] italics on [ /i ] italics off

Hi Joe - I can show off now  Grin
that resize thingy had me going nuts at first - heres what you do.

Write a phrase, then highlight it click on the A with the arrow up and down.  It comes up with no.10, you alter that number to the text size you want.  This is 15, lets see if it works.

Yep, that worked OK, only problem is it comes in fat writing and I wanted skinny.  Huh

There are two ways to use the BBC tags:

1)  click on the tag you want, they appear in your text
i.e.

[tag][/tag]

place the cursor between the ][ brackets and write your text.

it then looks like this:  [tag]your text[/tag]

2)  write your text, highlight it with the cursor,
then click on the BBC tag.

it then looks like this:  [tag]your text[/tag]

Hope this helps,
Bob

Hi

I think I am OK with them now apart from bullet points. A whole string of things appear for that. How do I use those?

Thanks

Bullet points ?

Here goes .....

1) click on the BBC tag  (bottom row, last on the right, for those who didn't know)
Code:
[list]
[li][/li]
[li][/li]
[/list]

for every line you want a bullet point for, place the cursor between the ][ and write your text
copy the [ li][ /li] line if you want more than two bullet point lines

It should then look like this in your reply tex:
Code:
[list]
[li]first line[/li]
[li]second line[/li]
[/list]

and like this, after sending:
  • first line
  • second line

  • All the best,
  • regards,
  • love & kisses cheers,
    • Bob

Hi Bob

  • I'm not sure that I will use these much
  • I still wanted to know just in case
  • I even got an extra row

Thanks
