BBCode tags
BBCode tags let you format text in your profile and message-board postings. It's similar to HTML, but simpler. The tags start with a [ (where you would have used < in HTML) and end with ] (where you would have used > in HTML).

If you don't close a tag or don't specify a parameter correctly, the raw tag itself will display instead of the formatted text.
