Bold and italic writing, underlinings |
You can use italic or bold writing or underlining, by inserting the text between the BB code [b][/b] or [i][/i] or [u][/u]. These three instructions can be also combined.

[code]<?php print "Hello World!"; ?>[/code] In this example, the BB code maintains the formatting automatically. For code examples in PHP, you can use the following BB code alternatively: [php]<?php print "Hello World!"; ?>[/php] In use of the [php] code is represented with syntax Highlighting. |
