| Web Address Hyperlinks |
You can have true hyperlinks using the [url] code. Just use the
following format (Forum Code is in
red):
[url=http://www.digiguide.co.uk]DigiGuide Web Site[/url]
[url]www.mydigiguide.com[/url]
In the examples above, the Forum Code automatically generates a
hyperlink to the URL that is encased. It will also ensure that the
link is opened in a new window when the user clicks on it. Note
that the "http://" part of the URL is completely optional. In the
first example above, the URL will hyperlink the text to whatever
URL you provide after the equal sign. Also note that you should
NOT use quotation marks inside the URL tag. |
| Bold and Italics |
| You can make italicised text
or make text bold by encasing the applicable sections of your text
with either the [b] [/b] or [i] [/i] tags.
