Introduction :: What is FDCode?
|
|
FDCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can actually use FDCode in your posts on the forum is determined by the administrator. In addition, you can disable FDCode on a per post basis via the posting form. FDCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. Depending on the template you are using you may find adding FDCode to your posts is made much easier through a clickable interface above the message area on the posting form. Even with this you may find the following guide useful.

Text Formatting :: How to create bold, italic and underlined text

BBCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways: - To make a piece of text bold enclose it in [b][/b], eg.
[b]Hello[/b]
will become Hello - For underlining use [u][/u], for example:
[u]Good Morning[/u]
becomes Good Morning - To italicise text use [i][/i], eg.
This is [i]Great![/i]

Text Formatting :: How to change the text colour or size ?
|
To alter the color or size of your text the following tags can be used. Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system: - Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in [color=][/color]. You can specify either a recognised colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, eg. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:
[color=red]Hello![/color]
or
[color=#FF0000]Hello![/color]
will both output Hello! - Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using [size=][/size]. This tag is dependent on the template you are using but the recommended format is a numerical value representing the text size in pixels, starting at 1 (so tiny you will not see it) through to 29 (very large). For example:
[size=9]SMALL[/size]
will generally be SMALL
whereas:
[size=24]HUGE![/size]
will be HUGE!
