Decorate Your Messages With Phorum Code

To spice up your posts, use "Phorum Code," which is similar to HTML. (You can't use HTML directly due to cross-site scripting security risks.) Phorum Code is much like the standard way many message board systems use to allow users to decorate their messages.

Remember you can EDIT your posts, you don't have to get it correct the first time--

Usage examples are:

[url]http://phorum.org/[/url]

Create a URL that is linked. Don't forgot the http://

[url=http://phorum.org/]phorum.org[/url]

Link the text 'phorum.org' to http://phorum.org

To create Superscripts use, eg, Smith, et al[sup]2[/sup]

which displays as Smith, et al²
(the superscripts may be hyperlinked to references using the [url= ..] tag)

[email]info@yahoo.com[/email]

Create a linked email address to info@yahoo.com

[img]http://phorum.org/newsite/logo.png[/img]

Create an image tag that shows that image.

Make the text bold, underlined, strikethrough, or italicized.
[b]Bold Text[/b]
[u]Underlined Text[/u]
[s]Strikethrough Text[/u]
[i]Italicized Text[/i]

[color=RED]Colors a block of text RED[/color]
[color=BLUE]Colors a block of text BLUE[/color]

[center]Centered Text[/center]

Center text.

[quote]Does this quote text?[/quote]

This indents the text inside the tags.

[code]Another way of quoting text?[/code]

        Indents the text inside the tags and uses typewriter font

---

Tags can be combined. For example:
[url=http://phorum.org/][img]http://phorum.org/logo.png[/img][/url]

A short cut: Phorum also automatically links URLs that are inside <>. That is,
<http://phorum.org/>

A horizontal line can be drawn with [hr]
