When you start a code, which is sectioned off in [brackets], you're usually telling your post, "From here on, turn the text that I type into [this] kind of text." The first part of the code, the part in brackets, is called an opening tag. After you write the coded text, you make a closing tag, which goes in [/brackets with a forward-slash at the front]. When you make a closing tag, you're saying, "Stop using [/this] code." Pretty simple, right? Let's see some examples.

[size=150]text[/size]

(The 150 can be replaced with almost any number. When you're in the full editor, the "Font size:" drop box has a list of pre-set sizes, but you can use different numbers for different sizes. Please don't get too carried away and make text too huge, though, and please make it able to be read.)

[bgcolor=#80BF00]text[/bgcolor]
text
(You can augment the background color of a block of text or a bordered area with any color, and you can mouse over the color swatch on the right side of the Full Editor to see the hexidecimal names for each color.)
Code: Select all
[color=#FF8040]text[/color]
text
(This is the same as the background color code, but for the color of the text. Simply selecting the desired text and hitting the desired color on the color swatch makes it especially easy.)
Code: Select all
[font=MV Boli]text[/font]
text
(This is used for all sorts of other fonts.)
Code: Select all
[s]text[/s]

Code: Select all

(I threw in the text on the sides so that you can clearly see the difference.)
