Database entry · October 12, 2022 · in How-to · · 438
This article is part of a series:
  1. iModeler tutorial - Quick formatting guide for articles, posts & comments
  2. iModeler tutorial - Markdown reference guide
  3. iModeler tutorial - BBCode (deprecated) reference guide
  4. iModeler tutorial - Markdown formatting Q&A

Note: BBCode is deprecated. The recommended way of formatting text at iModeler is Markdown. BBCode, now merely a legacy method, will continue to work mainly for compatibility reasons, and to provide continued support for content pasted from other forums, picture services such as Imgur and similar 3rd party services.

BBCode reference

The following is a reference cheat sheet for BBCode, should you choose to use it.

Bold

Some text [b]in bold[/b]

Some text in bold

Italics

Some text [i]in italics[/i]

Some text in italics

Headings

To create a heading, enclose the heading text in [heading]...[/heading]:

[heading]This is a subheading within the text[/heading]

This is a subheading within the text

Links

The basic BBCode link tag is [url]..[/url]. Using it is not necessary as iModeler will automatically convert all typed URLs into links anyway. But, for those who insist...

[url]https://www.bbcode.org/[/url]

Creating a named link is perhaps more useful.

[url="https://www.bbcode.org/"]See bbcode.org![/url]

Comment This tag will also work without quotes surrounding the URL: url=https://www.bbcode.org/

Images

To place any of the attached images anywhere within the text, use [pic1] to place the first attached picture, [pic2] for the second, and so on. For example:

[pic1]

To include any picture from the web, use:

[img]http://example.com/some_image.jpg[/img]

Quotes

You can enclose a paragraph in [quote]...[/quote] to turn it into a blockquote, such as this:

[quote]This is a blockquote.[/quote]

This is a blockquote.

Box

Use [box]...[/box] to create a colored box:

[box]This is a text in a box.[/box]

This is a text in a box.

Spoilers

Enclosing a block of text in [spoiler]...[/spoiler] will produce an expandable section where the reader will be required to make an additional click (on a + button) to reveal the content.

Spoiler...

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
