Note: when you create a new publication type, the articles module will automatically use the templates user-display-[publicationtype].xd and user-summary-[publicationtype].xd. If those templates do not exist when you try to preview or display a new article, you'll get this warning :-) Please place your own templates in themes/yourtheme/modules/articles . The templates will get the extension .xt there.

What is BBCode?

Crisp

September 24, 2008 01:13:45 AM +01:00

BBCode is an abbreviation for Bulletin Board Code, the lightweight markup language used to format posts in many forums (also known as message or bulletin boards). It is also called forum codes. Many forums don't allow users to directly input HTML markup in their posts as it poses a security risk. BBCode provides tags which allows users to simulate HTML tags.

The available tags are usually indicated by rectangular brackets surrounding a keyword, and they are parsed by the message board system before being translated into a markup language that web browsers understand, usually HTML or XHTML.
