Hello guys! I've been experimenting lately with the Forum's BBCodes. And while quoting most of the topics I've been replying, I noticed that most use too many bbcodes to show something that is just short. I know there are a lot of BBCode guide in the forum yet this is a tip that focuses on posts and how to use bbcode with less work, shorthand, and have same results. I know some would say that this is just a duplicate of most, yet I still even find only less users do the following. Hope you like it!! ;D
Note: if you'd notice, some bbcode are in normal form without using the code tag, I just used [nobbc]{value}[/nobbc] tags to show it by default bbcode.Table of contents:- Shorthand List Formatting (#post_x)

LIST FORMATTING
I've noticed that many still uses closing tags in list items such as [li]ITEM1[/li] in their posts. And having many items and closing it manually takes both the user's time and character in a post. Meanwhile, you'll notice I used [*] in the start of each item on the list as it would only output the same (using other options than asterisk will result to error).

Code name and code colors using PHP tag
Have you know that you can post programming codes here without formatting colors? I know some often uses the code tag, but do you know it can have some name to it?
| ____________________ | ____________________ |
| CODE NAME | CODE COLOR WITH PHP TAG |
| In naming Code Tags, simply use [code={any name you want}]{value}[/code] to insert a name with it.
Example:
[code=java]
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}
[/code]
Output:
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}
| If you would post some codes and wanted to have colors with it, simply use [php]{any code here}[/php] to have it colored automatically (note that it wasn't fairly colored based on what language you'll insert in those tags)
Example:
[php]
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}
[/php]
Output:
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}

Useful websites for bbcode
I know a lot had struggles manually making tables, but do you know that there is a table to bbcode generator?
Simply use
www.theenemy.dk/table/ (http://www.theenemy.dk/table/) and simply paste your table there.
Aug. 15. Edit: This wouldn't work if you would have bbcode in your cells or you have multiple lines in a single cell as it would read per line with your data pasted as raw text.
Here is the following instructions:
