I'm kinda' hoping folks will use a just a bit of restraint.

I may have to do away with the up and down marquee though. We'll see how it goes.

I haven't seen a BBCode for that or else I might add it.

BBCode supports two types of lists, unordered and ordered. An unordered list outputs each item in your list sequentially one after the other, indenting each with or without a bullet character.

To create an unordered list without bullet characters, use this code:

Code: Select all

[list]First item[/list]
[list]Second item[/list]
[list]Third item[/list]

This would generate the following list.

• First item

• Second item

• Third item

To create a list with bullet characters, use this code:

Code: Select all

[list]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item[/list]

This would generate the following list:

• First item
• Second item
• Third item

You can also create a series of lists with sub-lists, as shown here:

Code: Select all

[list][*]First item
[list][*]First item A
[*]First item B[/list]
[*]Second item
[list][*]Second item A
[list][*]Second item AB[/list]
[*]Second item B[/list]
[*]Third item[/list]

This would generate the following list:

• First item
  • First item A
  • First item B
• Second item
  • Second item A
    • Second item AB
  • Second item B
• Third item

The second type of list, an ordered list, gives you control over what is output before each item. To create an ordered numbered list you use

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]Go to the shops
[*]Buy a new computer
[*]Swear at computer when it crashes
[/list]

Which gives you the following:

1. Go to the shops
2. Buy a new computer
3. Swear at computer when it crashes

Whereas for an alphabetical list you would use:

Code: Select all

[list=A]
[*]The first possible answer
[*]The second possible answer
[*]The third possible answer
[/list]

Which gives you this:

1. The first possible answer
2. The second possible answer
3. The third possible answer

You can also use a combination of numbered and alphabetical lists for sub-lists:

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]Go to the shops
[list=A][*]Micro Center
[list=1][*]Georgia
[*]Alabama[/list]
[*]Best Buy[/list]
[*]Buy a new computer
[*]Swear at computer when it crashes
[/list]

Which gives you this:

1. Go to the shops
   1. Micro Center
      1. Georgia
      2. Alabama
   2. Best Buy
2. Buy a new computer
3. Swear at computer when it crashes

You can also use lower case letters instead of upper case.

You can also use Roman Numerals.

Code: Select all

[list=I]
[*]Go to the shops
[*]Buy a new computer
[*]Swear at computer when it crashes
[/list]

Which gives you this:

1. Go to the shops
2. Buy a new computer
3. Swear at computer when it crashes

And a combination of all 3.

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]Go to the shops
[list=A][*]Micro Center
[list=I][*]Georgia
[*]Alabama[/list]
[*]Best Buy[/list]
[*]Buy a new computer
[*]Swear at computer when it crashes
[/list]

Which gives you this:

1. Go to the shops
   1. Micro Center
      1. Georgia
      2. Alabama
   2. Best Buy
2. Buy a new computer
3. Swear at computer when it crashes

Want to get really crazy with lists?

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]Go to the shops
[list=A][*]Micro Center
[list=I][*]Georgia
[*]Alabama[/list]
[*]Best Buy[/list]
[*]Buy a new computer
[list=A][*]Dell
[list=I][*]Laptop
[list][*]Win 8.1
[list=a][*]Home
[*]Professional[/list]
[*]Win 10[/list]
[*]Desktop[/list]
[*]HP[/list]
[*]Swear at computer when it crashes[/list]

Which gives you this:

1. Go to the shops
   1. Micro Center
      1. Georgia
      2. Alabama
   2. Best Buy
2. Buy a new computer
   1. Dell
      1. Laptop
         • Win 8.1
           1. Home
           2. Professional
         • Win 10
      2. Desktop
   2. HP
3. Swear at computer when it crashes

As you can see you can use any number of combinations of unordered and ordered (numbered, alphabetical, Roman Numerals) list to create as deep a set of lists as you need.

I've added a couple new BBCodes. Would these be useful to folks?

First one is acronym. When you click the button it places this in your post.

Code: Select all

[acronym][/acronym]

Here's how to use it.

Code: Select all

It was so funny I was [acronym]LOL, Laughing Out Loud[/acronym] at his joke.

It comes out like this.
It was so funny I was LOL at his joke.

Hovering your mouse over the underlined text gives you this.
