BBCode Reference Guide





Our Sports League/Club and Sports Team websites both support BBCode as well as a few extra special Teamopolis tag implementations as well.

Wikipeida describes BBCode as a markup language used to format posts in many message boards. The tags are usually indicated by rectangular [] brackets surrounding a keyword, and they are parsed by the message board system before being translated into a markup language the web browsers understands.

BBCode was devised and put to use in order to provide a safer, easier and more limited way of allowing users to format their messages. The primary reason for using BBCode is to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) abuse.


The following table summarizes the BBCode tags that are available for you to use.

Tags with a indicate these tags have been specially introduced for use with Teamopolis websites.

We also have a Free BBCode Table Generator Tool that allows you to easily create tables for use in our system.

**Note** Not all implementations of BBCode are the same, and results may vary from system to system.
