Is it a good idea to have each bulletin board code in its own file, or would it be great to have one article listing all bulletin board codes? --AngelinaBelle 15:18, 7 December 2010 (EST)

Format for Bulletin Board Code Files

Of course, this can be handled with a template.

I took the liberty with the placeholder template, of creating one format. See blue.


description: The blue tag makes text between the BBC tags blue. This is an inline tag and no block level tags can be placed inside, however other inline tags can be if nested correctly

example: [blue]text or more BB Code[/blue]

result: text or more BB Code



Another option is the format seen in abbr


Warning: Display title "abbr" overrides earlier display title "blue".

description: The abbr tag allows you to specify abbreviations with titles, which will be displayed when you hover over the indicated text. The abbr and acronym tags are usually displayed the same in browsers, and you can use either depending on whether you want to display abbreviations, acronyms or just have extra information. This is an inline tag and no block level tags can be placed inside, however other inline tags can be used if nested correctly. If the abbreviation's title contains complex characters, place it in quotes. SMF

example: [abbr="a.k.a. [Unknown]"]Unknown W. Brackets[/abbr]

result: Unknown W. Brackets;


Which format is preferable? --AngelinaBelle 19:45, 9 December 2010 (EST)
