Due to several BBCode related how to's I wrote this out of boredom. ): Main focus: Combining BBCodes


Complete Simple BBCode List
The complete list of VT BBcode can be found here: http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode This explains how to apply the following codes: Bold, Italic, Underline, Font Color, Font Size, Font Type, Highlighting Text, Left, Right, and Center Alignment, Indent, E-mail Linking, Hyperlinking, Thread Linking, Post Linking, Bulleted Lists, Images, Code, PHP Code, HTML Code, Quote, No Parse, Attachment, Strike Out, Google, Image Link, User, Wikipedia, and Youtube.

Combining BBCode List
The list however does not teach how to combine multiple BBCodes to create things like:
BBCode
BBCode is in a since linear, the first code activated through something like also has to be the final code to be closed.
Example of 2 layer BBCode:
Bold Cyan Text
Bold Cyan Text
Example of a 3 layer BBCode:
Bold Underlined Cyan Text
[u]Bold Underlined Cyan Text
And the size can continue growing to the below code which was written as:
BBCode
BBCode

Embedding BBCodes

Sadly that's about the end of the embedding codes on VT to my knowledge.

Tis why I linked to that, no point rewriting it. The purpose was to show how to combine BBCode since a lot of people, I've noticed can not do without the text editor.
Image linking and stuffs. :P Pointless I know, but I was bored.

What you see is what you get! Woot! It gets annoying sometimes in editing, then you get massive lines of BBCode. ):
