Bitcodes

Since version 1.2 of BiTBOARD it is supporting "BiTCODES".
BitCodes are shortcuts to usual HTML functions without actually
using HTML. You may know these allready from ezBoard or
any other "bigger" bulletinboard software.

Bitcodes -> Inserting Code Snippets

When you want to insert a snippet of "Pawn" code or "C"
code in a message, you must mark the text as "code" so that
BiTBOARD will not reformat the text.

To mark a few lines of text as "code", put the text between
the Bitcodes [code] and [/code]. For example:

[code]
#include <console>

main()
    {
    print "Input two values\n"
    new a = getvalue()
    new b = getvalue()
    while (a != b)
        if (a > b)
            a = a - b
        else
            b = b - a
    printf "The greatest common divisor is %d\n", a
    }
[/code]

Bitcodes -> Posting Images

Posting Images using Bitcodes is pretty easy.
The scheme is like that:

[img]http://www.myhost.com/linktomy/image.jpg[/img]

Posting Hyperlinks

If you want to create a hyperlink to a website, simply
type the URL. If the site URL starts with "www.", you can
leave out the http:// if you wish.

Links are always opened in a new browser-window.

Bitcodes -> Posting email hyperlinks

Posting email adresses is just the same as posting
hyperlinks using bitcodes.

[mail]name@server.com[/mail]

which will create an email-link called "email" in your Post.
So, to effectively use this feature write like this:

You can [mail]name@server.com[/mail] me too!!

which creates:

You can email me too!

Bitcodes -> Text Formatting

To emphasize a single word, just put it behind '_' characters. That is, if you type "_emphasized_", it will come out as "emphasized". This only works with a single word. To set multiple words emphasized, you must either put '_' at both sides of every individual word, or use one of the explicit bitcodes below.

You can format text to be either bold, italic or underlined.
The following codes are used (these codes are case sensitive):

[strong]strong[/strong]	strong
[em]emphasized[/em]	emphasized
[UL]underline[/UL]	underline
[quote]text[/quote]	set text in an indented box

You can of course combine these bitcodes.

Emoticons

Emoticons (graphic smileys) are supported through
Bitcodes. To get a graphic picture of a smiley, you must
type the common ASCII emoticon, such as ":)" between
square brackets, as in "[:)]".
Here is a list of emoticons used by BiTBOARD:

	[:[]
	[:D]
	[8)]
	[^_^]
	[:?]
	[:lol:]
	[:(]
	[:)]
	[:P]
	[;)]

No HTML support

HTML support is disabled in this forum.
HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language"; it is a language that enables authors to design website content. It was disabled because it makes posting code snippets more difficult.
