Introduction
What is ForumCode?

Text Formatting
How to create bold, italic and underlined text
ForumCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways:
  • To make a piece of text bold enclose it in **, eg.

    *Hello*

    will become Hello
  • For underlining use + +, for example:

    +Good Morning+

    becomes Good Morning
  • To italicise text use _ _, eg.

    This is _Great!_

    would give This is Great!
