How to use BBCode on BitcoinTalk forum
BitcoinTalk is the oldest forum about cryptocurrencies on the Internet. It was launched in 2009 by Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto.
It is very simple to use BBCode on BitcoinTalk, just type the acronym of the code in square brackets, like an HTML tag.
Basically, to start the desired formatting you must type the acronym in square brackets, and to end the formatting, type “/” (slash) + formatting acronym. Example: [b]text in bold[/b].
To add color to the formatting, type the formatting abbreviation + “=” (equal sign) + color of your choice. Example: [glow=yellow]highlighted text in yellow[/glow].
For inserting symbols or lines, you do not need to type the closing bracket. Example: [btc]placing bitcoin symbol
WARNING: Do not put space between the brackets and the text to be formatted, otherwise the formatting will not be applied.
