The specific bbCodes enabled for this forum are buried in a link on the posting page, under "Options" to the lower left of the posting window. Where it says BBCode is
ON, you click the word "BBCode."
Here's the direct link to the explanation of available bbCodes:
faq.php?mode=bbcodeWhile there are no tables there, I found the explanation of ordered (numbered) list and unordered lists helpful. The indention, numbers, letters or bullets are added automatically, if the correct syntax is used.
My ordered list with numbers
- looks something
- like
- this
Or an ordered list with letters,
- looks
- like
- this
My unordered list
- shows bullets
- like
- this
This material would be handier if it were linked in the FAQ.
BobEDIT: I just noticed that if you use [ code ][ /code ] tags, you can create aligned columns.
Code:
COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2
First row 88
Second row 7
Third row 199
but you can't embed any bbCode tags within the [ code ] block. Since it displays with a fixed-width Currier font, but is typed with a variable font, you have to count characters and spaces to get columns aligned. Very tedious, but possible.
