BBCode

BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) is a set of formatting tags used by MFGG's phpBB software, its previous Invision software and various other message boards. They can be used to apply various color and formatting styles to text, usually done to make posts more interesting or to stand out more.

MFGG's main site also uses a watered-down version of BBCode. Some of the basic functions such as [url], [quote], and font ([b], [u], [i]) tags are built in.
