BB Code Guide
What is BB Code?
BBCode (or Bulletin Board Code) is a simple markup language used to format posts. Formatting such as bolding, italicizing or underlining text can be done on Ludus Lake to make posts more readable or content-rich.
If there are BBCode options/enhancements that you'd like to see, please create a suggestion here:
Currently available BBCode options:
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Strikeout
- Quote (optionally include quoted username)
- Link (optionally include link text)
- Image
- Header (multiple levels)
- Center
- Divider
- List (unordered)
- Ordered List
- Table
Special BBCode
Some BBCode can take optional parameters or have multiple options to use within them. These are listed below.Lists
A list by default is unordered. Adding list=1 to the opening tag makes the list ordered. Clicking the Ordered List BBCode button will automatically add this parameter.Headers
A header automatically defaults to a level 2 header. An optional level parameter can be added with a value of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 to change the header level. The lower the header level, the smaller the text size.Tables
Tables can make use of the following sub BBCodes:- tr - represents a table row.
- th - represents a table header cell. Should be nested within a tr.
- td - represents a table data cell. Should be nested within a tr.
| Column Header Cell 1 | Column Header Cell 2 | Column Header Cell 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Column Data Cell 1 | Column Data Cell 2 | Column Data Cell 3 |
Links
When inserting a link, the link URL will automatically default to example.com, and the link text to "link text". If you pre-select some text and then click on the link button, the link text will default to the pre-selected text.Quote
The quote tag has an optional user parameter for when you'd like to quote a specific user. Adding this parameter will prefix the quote with text indicating as such. For example: Quote without a username:Quote with a username:This is an unattributed quote!
LudusBot said:This is an attributed quote!
Combining BBCode
Some BBCode tags can be nested within others. For example:This is bold text nested within a center tag.
Wrapping the center tag around the bold tag makes the bolded text centered in the post.
Wrapping a link tag around an image tag makes the image linkable.2 days ago
