Here I give you a short tutorial of how to use BBCode correctly.
BBCode is just another sort (alternative) of HTML-TAGs.

BBCode is always of the same syntax :
[TAGNAME]insert text influenced by the tag here[/TAGNAME]
It can also be stuffed like this
[TAGNAME1]text [TAGNAME2]here[/TAGNAME2][/TAGNAME1]
Always close the last openend tag first.
[TAGNAME1][TAGNAME2][TAGNAME3]I love BBCode[/TAGNAME3][/TAGNAME2][/TAGNAME1]

The following codes are available on d2jsp and explained in that order
1. Bold
2. Underlined
3. Italic
4. Center
5. Size
6. Color
7. Cancelled
8. Images
9. Email
10.Font
11.Url-Masking
12.Quote
13.Code
14.List
15.Arranged list
16.Youtube links

1. Bold this makes your text appear in bold print.
USAGE :

Code

[b]Bold text here[/b]

2.Underlined : this makes your text appear underlined.
USAGE :

Code

[u]underlined text here[/u]

3.italic : this makes your text appear italic.
USAGE :

Code

[i]italic text here[/i]

4.centered text
Hey..what does it look like? the text appears centered of course.
USAGE :

Code

[center]the text you want to be centered here[/center]

5.Sized text : with this tag you can vary the size of your text
USAGE :

Code

[size=X]text with size x here[/size]

Important : the original size on d2jsp is 1. By choosing x > 1 your text will appear larger.
By choosing x < 1 the text will appear smaller.
The lowest you can choose is 0. The largest you can choose is 23. The larger the X, the larger the text.

6.Colored text
USAGE :

Code

[color=x]colored text here[/color]

The color can vary of course. Here is a small list of colors you can choose.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp
You can also have a look here for colors.
There is also an advanced HEX USAGE for the colortag.
USAGE :

Code

[color=#RRGGBB]text here[/color]

RR means red. GG means green. BB means blue.
By entering a value you specify how much of the color is available. Every color consists of red green and blue.
The MIN value is 00 and the MAX value is FF
for example red composes by doing this :

Code

[color=#FF0000]Red Text[/color]

Red has the MAX value and green and blue the MIN values. So it's a pure red.

7.~~Cancelled text~~
USAGE :

Code

[s]cancelled text here[/s]

8.IMAGES : To involve images you must use the [IMG] tag.
USAGE :

Code

[img]url of picture here[/img]

A complete tutorial of [HOW TO] implement pictures on d2jsp is given here

9. EMAIL : njaguar@d2jsp.org. That way you implement an email adress.
USAGE :

Code

[email]emailadress[/email]

10.Fonts
USAGE :

Code

[font=X]text with font X here[/font]

A small collection of fonts can be found here : http://www.cavyspirit.com/thoughts/screen.php?vgbxiferp=VGB&vgbedocbb=0

11. MASKING LINKS. Link to Njaguar's profile
That way you can mask links.
USAGE :

Code

[url=LINKhere]Text that shall appear here[/url]

IMPORTANT: You can ONLY mask d2jsp links here. Everything except the logout link.
You cannot mask links like www.google.com . It won't appear masked.

12.Yeah you can also quote other persons.
USAGE :

Code

[quote]text here[/quote]

USAGE2:

Code

[QUOTE=NICKNAME,DAY, DATE in DAY MONTH YEAR format (e.g. 15 Feb 2002) , TIME]quoted text here [/QUOTE]

13.

Code

This is written in code tag. Already used before very often, too.

Very useful to make other TAG's USAGE visible because if the TAGs are applied correctly they are transformed immediately.
USAGE :

Code

[*code]text here without stars both the times but I cannot make it visible elsewise[*/code]

Last but not least you can also make lists on d2jsp.
There are 2 ways of making lists.
14.Unarranged, normal lists

Code

My offerlist
[list]
[*]Harlecin Crest
[*]Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
[*]Jah Rune
[/list]

this will appear as follows.

My offerlist

Harlecin Crest
Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
Jah Rune

15.Arranged lists.
You can also make arranged lists.

Code

My offerlist
[list=A]
[*]Harlecin Crest
[*]Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
[*]Jah Rune
[/list]

My offerlist

Harlecin Crest
Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
Jah Rune

There is also an arranged lists by figures

Code

My offerlist
[list=1]
[*]Harlecin Crest
[*]Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
[*]Jah Rune
[/list]

Jewellers Monarch of Equilibrium
Jah Rune
