What is BBCode, and how is it used?

[86]

I've seen some people create really nice topics with coloured backgrounds, moving pictures on the side, an organized format, and all that. I know it probably has something to do with the BBCode option, but I have a question.

What exactly is BBCode? And how is it used? Are there special commands you need to input to make something work?

I would appreciate an answer from someone who's used the BBCode before. Thank you.

"I have lived my life as best I could, not knowing its purpose, but drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon; and here at last, I discover a strange truth. That I am only a conduit, for a message that eludes my understanding."
―Ezio Auditore da Firenze on his role as "the Prophet", 1512.

you mean it like i have down here and stuff? pm me and i can tell you what i know (so far)

I keep to the shadows
of the innocent
I make no sound when I
go hunting for evil

I stay where I want,
not where I'm told to
I do what I want,
what I intend to

So watch your back,
Watch your step,
One single prickle
And that will be all.

Check the lights if you must
Listen outside if you want to
But just know this
This one little thing:

Keep an eye on your back
Watch out for anything
One whip of a breeze
And that will be all.
