Forum Code

For security reasons you cannot use HTML tags in your forum messages. However, you can use Forum Code tags to accomplish the same rich formatting that HTML provides. Forum Code is similar to HTML in usage and as such is very easy to learn. Below each of the Forum Code tags are explained with examples.

Hyperlinks and Images

Hyperlinks:

You can easily add a hyperlink to your message by using the [url="linkto"] description [/url] tags.

Note: You must use the exact syntax [url="linkto"] description [/url] in order for your hyperlink to be converted properly. Variations such as [url=linkto] description [/url] and [url]linkto[/url] will not work!

This Example:
Take me to [url="http://www.localhost"]The JyotishGuru Web Site[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to The JyotishGuru Web Site

You insert an email link by using [url="mailto:address"] description [/url] tags

This Example:
If you have a question [url="mailto:bob@company.com"]Email Me[/url]
Outputs This:
If you have a question Email Me

Images:

Enclose the address with [img] and [/img].

This Example:
[img]http://www.localhost/images/logo.gif[/img]
Outputs This:

You can make clickable images by combining the [url="linkto"]desc[/url] and [img]image_url[/img] tags

This Example:
[url="http://www.localhost"][img]http://www.localhost/images/cname.gif[/img][/url]
Outputs This:
