BBCode tags reference


In this section, a reference table for all of the more popular BBCode tags is provided. Some are considered to be standard and should be supported in just about any BBCode implementation. Other are less likely to be supported, but nonetheless popular (hence the reason they’ve been included here).

 

Different types of tags

  • Simple tags: [tag]something[/tag]
  • Simple parameterized tags: [tag=value]something[/tag]
  • Complex parameterized tags: [tag value1=”xxx” value2=”yyy”]something[/tag]
  • Shorthand tags ie. [img=WIDTHxHEIGHT]URL[img]
