Examples:

Color

The [color] tag allows you to change the color of your text.

Example: [color=blue]this text is blue[/color]

Size

The [size] tag allows you to enlarge the size of your text from its default size.

Example: [size=+2]this text is two sizes larger than normal[/size]

Font

The [font] tag allows you to change the font of your text.

Example: [font=courier]this text is in the courier font[/font]

[font=arial]
[font=verdana]
[font=helvetica]
[font=courier]

Make text small

Example: [small]This is small text[/small]

Highlight

The [highlight] tag allows you to emphasize your text.

Example: [highlight]this text is highlighted[/highlight]

Left / Right / Center

The [left], [right] and [center] tags allow you to change the alignment of your text.

Examples:
[left]this text is left-aligned[/left]
[center]this text is center-aligned[/center]
[right]this text is right-aligned[/right]

Indent
The [indent] tag allows you to indent your text.
Example: [indent]this text is indented[/indent]

Bulleted Lists
The [list] tag allows you to create simple, bulleted lists.

Example: [list][*]list item 1[*]list item 2[/list]

Output:
list item 1
list item 2

Inserting URLs and Images

URL Hyperlinking

The [url] tag allows you to link to a website, or a file in a website.
Example: [url]http://www.mywebsite.com/[/url]

You can also include a parameter to 'name' your link.
Example: [url=http://www.mywebsite.com/]My Website[/url]

Embedding Images

The [img] tag allows you to embed images.

Example: [img]http://www.mywebsite.com/images/myimage.gif[/img]

You can also combine this tag with the [url] tag to make images become links.
[url=http://www.mywebsite.com] [img]http://www.mywebsite.com/images/myimage.gif[/img] [/url]

Other code:

Spoiler
Use the [spoiler] code to create hidden text. When viewed, the text will be invisible until it is highlighted with the mouse.
Example: [spoiler]This text will be hidden[/spoiler]
