If you have ever wondered what the effect buttons do above the text entry area this is what they do.

Additional information can be found here Simple Machines Forum Basic BB Codes (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=57) and here HAF bbCode guide (http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref). If you have any questions about tags the post them here.

To use the buttons either click on one and add the content between the 'tags' or highlight the content and then click the button.

Either way you should see [tag]content[/tag]

Some tags can have attributes like [tag=attribute]content[/tag] e.g. [size=10pt]content[/size]

A bit about the List option (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg716.imageshack.us%2Fimg716%2F1912%2Flistr.gif&hash=59d40b68617f446f4d38190528a6f97417e08b50)

This code

[list]
[li]First[/li]
[li]Second[/li]
[/list]


Produces a bulleted list thus

• First
• Second

However if you just want to indent some text you omit the [li] and [/li] tags thus

[list]
First
Second
[/list]

And the text appears indented without a bullet point thus

First
Second

Colour options using the glow option to illustrate (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg825.imageshack.us%2Fimg825%2F4329%2Fglowj.gif&hash=c6f6846b1eff472563c5da05fdf7f9fe394af8f4)

These are the standard colours that are listed in the drop down menu

Black
Red
Yellow
Pink
Green
Orange
Purple
Blue
Beige
Brown
Teal
Maroon
LimeGreen

However if you look here HTML color names (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp) you'll find a load more. I tried one (Bisque) to see if it worked but I didn't try them all.

Text colors are the same names
Black
