Basic HTML Markup for bbPress Powered Boards

bbPress is another developer of forums softwares, bbPress boards are simple and practical, you can go & see bbPress Support Forums as an example of how forums based on that script look like.

Unlike other popular softwares, bbPress doesn't use bbCode to format text in posts, instead, it uses basic HTML coding. Let's see in this post what are those markups, they may be useful in other boards too & in some other situations, you might have guessed that HTML is much more widely used that bbCode which is restricted to some forums, HTML is the universal language of the Internet & you will for sure be confronted in situations in which you have to use some basic HTML coding while browsing the web and doing diverse stuff.

1st how to know you're on a bbPress powered forum?

As we saw with other forums, croll down a page on the forum to see "Powered By bbPress" in the bottom.

When you're about to post a message on a bbPress based board, under the field in which you need to type your message you see the following message:

Allowed markup: a blockquote br code em strong ul ol li.
Put code in between `backticks`.


a - used to insert live links (or URLs) - equivalent of the [url] tag in bbCode

blockquote - for quoting test - equivalent of the [quote] tag in bbCode

br - for line-breaks - no need to it in bbCode

code / ` - to wrap codes - equivalent of the [code] tag in bbCode

em - for italic text - equivalent of the [I] tag in bbCode

strong - for bold text - equivalent of the [B] tag in bbCode

ul / ol / li - for unordered lists - equivalent of the [list] / [*] tag in bbCode

In the next post I will start explaining how to insert each for formatting posts, just a hint: instead of the [ & ] brackets used in bbCode, in HTML & so in bbPress < & > are used.

When you’re starting out, you will be confused. I know I was. All I knew was that I wasn’t happy. I was frustrated and I just wanted to hide somewhere with a nice bowl of ice cream with candy on top.
