Markup
Experianced users might like to add markup to their messages. This markup however, will not be appied directly, but special codes will be inserted in the message. These codes will later be used to display the real markup. Afterall, that makes your messages a lot more personalized. Note that the administrator of this forum can disable the use of markup!

Simple Markup Codes
The most simple markup codes can just be placed around the text. The text would become bold or italic, for example.

Markup codes	Result
This is [B]bold[/], [U]underlined[/], and [B][U]both[/][/]!	This is bold, underlined, and both!
[FONT=Arial,green,+2]Bigger green (using English name!) in Arial[/], [COLOR=#0000FF]Blue text using hexcodes[/], [SIZE=1]Small text size 1[/]	Bigger Green (using English name!) in Arial, Blue text using hexcodes, Small text size 1

Making Lists
Here are more complicated examples. They require more markup codes and modifications. You can remove the spaces and returns to make things more compact. The forum itself tries to do the same aswell, by removing end-of-line markings after some XBBC codes. Finally, you're allowed to add some extra text in the closing tag; [/], for readability.

Markup codes	Result
[LIST] [-] Normal [-] Normal [-o] Circles [-#] Squares [-@] Discs [/ End Of List]	Normal Normal Circels Squares Discs
[ENUM] [-] Normal [-] Normal [-I] Roman [-L] Lowercase [-U] Uppercase [-N] Numbers [/]	Normal Normal Roman Lowercase Uppercase Numbers

Tables and pictures
Tables are a bit difficult to make, but they can be very handly when aligning images next to the text. You can even make your post loog like a news paper. The [|] code is used to split cells in a row. Each row must consist of as many cells as the other rows!

Markup codes	Result
[TABLE] [ROW]Cell1 Row1 New Line! An image is aligned next to this text! Tables make this happen [|] [IMAGE=https://www.mywebsite.com/plaatje.gif, 100,40,Image!] [FONT=Arial,red,1]My Picture[/] [/ End of row 1] [/ End of table!]	Cell1 Row1 New Line! An image is aligned next to this text! Tables make this happen My Picture

Multiple Comma Separated Arguments
Defaultly, a comma is used to separate the parameters of the XBBC code. What if you want to use the comma inside message parameter? You can put quotes arround it! Example: [quote="Hello,World!"] or [image=url,16,16,"Hello,World!"]. To display literal quotes arround the arguments, use the quotes twice, like this: [quote=""Hello,World!""]

Now Let's Start...
Most likely, you'll be able to find out how other markup codes work. Most of the markup-buttons in the post message window will place sample code, and with some minor adjustments, you'll get the preferred result.
