[u]underline text[/u]

[i]italic text[/i]

[s]struckout text[/s]


text followed by[sup]superscript[/sup]

text followed by[sub]subscript[/sub]


[color=red]red text[/color]

[color=black]black text (for being sneaky)[/color]

[color=336699]colour in hex triplets. this is the same blue as that elsewhere in this site[/color]

Very good.

There are more worded colours than that, such as "maroon", plus hex triplets to use if anyone cares that much.

name
time
by the way.

Font size goes up to 24.
is for superscript. is for subscript.

You can also change typeface, with tags such as

Tags can be combined, of course.

I haven't closed them here, which is why they are visible, rather than operating. Remember to close them.

So there is.

I have never seen that before, but that is because I always use fast reply.
What with the fact that I can breath BBCode.

I have always used fast reply, and have gradually picked up more and more BB code over time. I never knew of this though. ah well. we'll keep this for now unless the site BB code thing is far more comprehensive/user friendly. although, it's pretty clear it isn't as obvious.

I've always preferred using hex triplets to worded colours, generally gets me exactly the colour I want.

Hooray light orange!
