URL Hyperlinking |
NEW! If Vine Code is enabled
in a forum, you no longer need to use the [URL] code to create a hyperlink.
Simply type the complete URL in either of the following manners and
the hyperlink will be created automatically:
- http://www.yourURL.com
- www.yourURL.com
Notice that you can either use the complete http:// address
or shorten it to the www domain. If the site does not begin with
"www", you must use the complete "http://" address. Also, you
may use https and ftp URL prefixes in auto-link mode (when Vine
Code is ON).
The old [URL] code will still work, as detailed below. Just
encase the link as shown in the following example (Vine Code
is in red).
[url]www.prime-web.com[/url]
NEW! You can now have true hyperlinks using the [url] code. Just use the following format:
[url=http://www.ultimatebb.com]UltimateBB.com[/url]
In the examples above, the Vine Code automatically generates
a hyperlink to the URL that is encased. It will also ensure
that the link is opened in a new window when the user clicks
on it. Note that the "http://" part of the URL is completely
optional. In the second example above, the URL will hypelink
the text to whatever URL you provide after the equal sign. Also
note that you should NOT use quotation marks inside the URL
tag.

Email Links |
| To add a hyperlinked email
address within your message, just encase the email address as shown
in the following example (Vine Code is in red).
[email]ted@prime-web.com[/email]
In the example above, the Vine Code automatically generates a
hyperlink to the email address that is encased.

Bold and Italics |
|
You can make italicized text or make text bold by encasing the applicable sections of your text with either the [b] [/b] or [i] [/i] tags.
Hello, [b]James[/b]
Hello, [i]Mary[/i]
|
|
Bullets/Lists |
|
You can make bulleted lists or ordered lists (by number or letter).
Unordered, bulleted list:
[list]
[*] This is the first bulleted item.
[*] This is the second bulleted item.
[/list]
This produces:
- This is the first bulleted item.
- This is the second bulleted item.
Note that you must include a closing [/list] when you end each list.
Making ordered lists is just as easy. Just add either [LIST=A] or [LIST=1]. Typing [List=A] will produce a list from A to Z. Using [List=1] will produce numbered lists.
Here's an example:
[list=A]
[*] This is the first bulleted item.
[*] This is the second bulleted item.
[/list]
This produces:
- This is the first bulleted item.
- This is the second bulleted item.

Adding Images |
| To add a graphic within your
message, just encase the URL of the graphic image as shown in the
following example (Vine Code is in red).
[img]http://www.prime-web.com/Ultimate20/tline.gif[/img]
In the example above, the Vine Code automatically makes the graphic
visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is
REQUIRED for the [img] code. Also note:
some Vine forums may disable the [img]
tag support to prevent objectionable images from being viewed.

Quoting Other Messages |
| To reference something specific
that someone has posted, just cut and paste the applicable verbiage
and enclose it as shown below (Vine Code is in red).
[QUOTE]Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.[/QUOTE]
In the example above, the Vine Code automatically blockquotes
the text you reference.
|
|
Code Tag |
|
Similar to the Quote tage, the Code tag adds some <PRE> tags to preserve formatting. This useful for displaying programming code, for instance.
[CODE]#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!";
[/CODE]
In the example above, the Vine Code automatically blockquotes
the text you reference and preserves the formatting of the coded
text.
