Guide to BBCode Commands

In this thread you will find a summary of all of the different BBCode commands that work in the World Anvil discussion boards, as well as a quick guide to what other parts of the posts will look like that are already coded for you. A comprehensive guide to BBCode on World Anvil (including some things I haven't included here) can be found here.  

Basic Text Formatting

Code:

[b]Text using bold[/b]
[i]Text using italics[/i]
[u]Text using underline[/u]
[s]Text using strikethrough[/s]
This [redacted:4] is redacted
[small]This is smaller[/small]
This is [sup]superscript[/sup]
This is [sub]subscript[/sub]
Now I can display [noparse][b]BBCode tags[/b] with the noparse tags.[/noparse]
[dc]T[/dc]his is a fancy drop cap to put in the first line of your article. Looks better with a longer paragraph!
Results:

Text using bold
Text using italics
Text using underline
Text using strikethrough
This ████ is redacted
This is smaller
This is superscript
This is subscript

Text Alignment

Code:

[left]This text is aligned to the left (default alignment)[/left]

[center]This text is in the center[/center]

[right]This text is in the right[/right]

[justify]This text is justified on both sides. This visually works best with paragraphs of text and can look fantastic when formatted into columns as demonstrated further on in this guide. Putting justify BBCode around a body of text will automatically stretch the spacing out to fill a space rather than have the edges of a paragraph at different lengths.[/justify]


[concol]This text is in the center with wide margins. This also works best with paragraphs or texts so you can better see the margins[/concol]
Results:

This text is aligned to the left (default alignment)

This text is in the center

This text is in the right
