BBCode

BBCode is a mechanic on PokéFarm Q that allows users to place objects into Forum Posts, Personal Messages, About Me profiles, or Signatures that would be unachievable using regular text. Most BBCodes use the format: [tag]text[/tag] or [tag=data]text[/tag], however there are exceptions.

For further help with any of the following tags, use the [help] tag.

Basics

Almost every BBCode consists of three parts.

• Opening Tag:

A keyword enclosed in square brackets, occasionally accompanied by a parameter that is specified with an equals sign.

Example: [keyword=parameter] (or just [keyword])

• Contents:

What is between the two tags. This could be text, other BBCodes, or a required parameter that is not part of the opening tag. Many BBCodes will not make visible modifications if they do not have content to modify.

• Closing Tag:

A forward slash followed by the same keyword as in the opening tag enclosed in square brackets. It never has any parameters.

Example: [/keyword]

Note that when using BBCodes, it is important to be neat and organised. If using multiple BBCodes, make sure that you open and close them in reverse order, and do not open one BBCode inside another and then close it outside of the first.

For example, you should do:

[example1][example2]example text[/example2][/example1]

You should not do:

[example1][example2]example text[/example1][/example2]

You should also not do:

[example1]example text 1 [example2]text 2[/example1] text 3[/example2]

BBCode can be used in the Forums, in Signatures, and in Personal Messages. BBCode can also be used, albeit to a lesser extent, in one's About Me section. The [b], [i] and [u] BBCodes can also be used in Pokémon custom descriptions.

Guides

There are a couple of very useful guides concerning BBCode on-site, where you can also ask questions to get guidance on using them.

• Meu's Somewhat Extensive Guide to BBCode is very useful for the basics of BBCode and using them to create a cohesive and organised post for a store or journal, for example.
• Aemilia's Guide to CSS is very useful when making a template using the [styleclass] and [style] tags to design it, as well as various properties that also work within [css] tags.

List of BBCodes

The list is in alphabetical order. The format for this list is as follows:

• Code Name
  • Tag(s): Syntax of the BBCode tag.
  • Parameter(s): What you can change about the code, if applicable.
  • Information: Any other important information, if applicable.
  • Example: An example of the BBCode in use (if it can be properly displayed).

Accordion

• Tag
  • [accordion]Panels[/accordion]
  • [accordion=DefaultPanel]Panels[/accordion]
• Parameters
  • DefaultPanel: (optional) Panel number to be displayed by default.
• Information
  • The Accordion is used to display one panel at a time, the panels being [a-section] BBCodes.
  • This BBCode is complicated and should only be used if you know what you are doing.
• Example
  • [accordion=1]
[a-section=Example 1]Content 1[/a-section]
[a-section=Example 2]Content 2[/a-section]
[a-section=Example 3]Content 3[/a-section]
[/accordion]
  • 

Accordion Section

• Tag
  • [a-section=SectionTitle]Content[/a-section]
• Parameters
  • SectionTitle: The title of the Section to be displayed.
• Information
  • The [a-section] BBCode is used inside with the [accordion] or [stackbox] BBCodes.
• Example
  • [accordion][a-section=SectionTitle]Content[/a-section][/accordion]
  • See the [accordion] BBCode.

Background

• Tag
  • [background=BackgroundColour]Content[/background]
  • [background=BackgroundURL]Content[/background]
• Parameters
  • BackgroundColour: A colour code denoting the colour of the background to be displayed.
  • BackgroundURL: A URL to an image to use as the background of the Content.
• Information
  • This BBCode is similar to the [highlight] BBCode, but allows the use of a URL and extends to the left and right borders.
  • This BBCode should be used in conjunction with the [colour] BBCode as other users may use a theme that changes the text colour to one similar to the background's colour.
  • When using this code, do not forget to also define the text colour to match the legibility guidelines.
• Example
  • [background=#FF0000]Black text on a Red Background[/background]
[background=red]Black text on a Red Background[/background]
[background=rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)]Black text on a Red Background[/background]
  • Black text on a Red Background

Bold

• Tag
  • [b]Text[/b]
• Information
  • This BBCode is used to create Bold text.
• Example
  • [b]Bold Text[/b]
  • Bold Text

Centre

• Tag
  • [centre]Text[/centre]
  • [center]Text[/center]
• Information
  • This BBCode is used to centre the content to the middle of its container.
  • [centre] and [center] are interchangeable.
• Example
  • [centre]Centred Text[/centre]
  • Centred Text

Colour

• Tags
  • [colour=Colour]Text[/colour]
  • [color=Colour]Text[/color]
• Parameters
  • Colour: A colour code denoting the colour of the text to be displayed. May be set to transparent. In that case, the text will be visible only when highlighted.
• Information
  • This BBCode should be used in conjunction with the [highlight] or [background] BBCode as other users may have a skin that changes the background colour to one similar to the text colour, or the background/text colour contrast may cause other users' eyes pain.
  • Make sure to follow the legibility guidelines to verify the colours are not too bright and can still be read on any skin.
  • [colour] and [color] are interchangeable.
• Example
  • [color=#FF0000]Red Text[/color]
[colour=red]Red Text[/colour]
[color=rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)]Red Text[/color]
  • Red Text
  • ([color=transparent]Hidden Text[/color])
  • (Hidden Text)
    • Highlight the empty area within parentheses to reveal hidden text.

CSS

• Tag
  • [css=CSSStyling]Content[/css]
• Parameters
  • CSSStyling: The style that should be applied to the content.
• Information
  • This BBCode is complicated and should only be used if you know what you are doing.
  • There are a few guidelines for use of this BBCode:
    • Never set the position value to fixed.
    • Only set the position value to absolute if the container has a position value of relative.
    • Never use the opacity property on elements containing text. Use the [colour] BBCode using the rgba(R,G,B,A) format.
    • Never set width, height, min-width, min-height, max-width or max-height to any value that causes the element to be unreasonably small or large.
    • Never use overflow as it can make scrolling tricky on mobile.
    • Never use cursor. Changing the cursor without reason is a bad practice in web design.
    • Never use filter. Filters are only used by old versions of Internet Explorer and excessive use can cause major lag.
    • Never set background-attachment to fixed as it can become extremely distracting.
  • While this code is extremely complex to people just getting started, it does allow more flexibility in designing your post!
• Example
  • [css=background-color: #202020; border-radius: 16px; padding: 8px; font-size: 14pt; color: #ffffff]There is no limit to how much CSS you can cram in there.[/css]
  • There is no limit to how much CSS you can cram in there.

Date-Time

• Tag
  • [datetime]YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss[/datetime]
  • [datetime]any supported format[/datetime]
  • [datetime=Format]YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss[/datetime]
  • [datetime=Format]now[/datetime]
• Parameter
  • Optional [Format]: A format for the date and time to be returned in. The basic date-time format can be achieved with Y-m-d H:i:s returning the date and time as YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.
    • Accepted values can be found on php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php. Providing characters not found here or whitespace works, and can be used to format the returned value as desired.
    • Character case matters! Uppercase Y is not the same as lowercase y for example; the first represents the full length year YYYY while the second represents the last two digits of the year YY.
• Information
  • The basic date-time format is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss (Year-Month-Date Hour:Minutes:Seconds).
  • Many formats are supported, to see if your format is, check on php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php. If the time displayed is Never then the format used is not supported.
  • Providing the optional parameter will return the date and time between the tags in the format specified, while not providing the optional parameter will instead give an approximation of when the given date and time is or was (e.g. in 5 months, 2 hours ago).
  • Supplementing now in place of a formatted date and time between the tags gives the current time. This will automatically update to the current time whenever the page is refreshed.
• Examples
  • The wiki does not support this BBCode. As such, the following examples are based upon the time of editing this section: 2023-07-04 18:25:00.
  • Leaving the optional parameter blank:
    • [datetime]2017-01-01[/datetime]
      • 6 years ago
    • [datetime]July 4th, 2023 22:00:00[/datetime]
      • in 3 hours
    • [datetime]now[/datetime]
      • just now (This will never change, because now is always now).
  • Providing the optional parameter:
    • [datetime=F jS, Y]2018-02-14[/datetime]
      • February 14th, 2018
    • [datetime=d/m/Y @ h:i:s A]2022-12-30 20:30:55[/datetime]
      • 30/12/2022 @ 08:30:55 PM
    • [datetime=Y-m-d H:i:s]now[/datetime]
      • 2023-07-04 18:25:00 (On the main site, this will update itself to the current time whenever the page is loaded)

• Tag
  • [help=BBTag]
• Parameters
  • BBTag: A valid BBCode tag.
• Information
  • This BBCode shows a short explanation for the BBCode specified as BBTag.
  • Usage of this BBCode is technically treated as an error. Therefore, it is not possible to submit a text with this code unless it is enclosed in the [nobbcode] tags.
• Example
  • [help=pkmn]
  • Help: [pkmn] — Pokémon icon
    Show the icon of the specified Pokémon. Add / then a Forme name for a specific Forme. Add (F) after the name to get the female icon. (S)hiny, (A)lbino and (M)elanistic icons can be specified, although if these sprites haven't been fully implemented yet then they will use the default sprite instead.
    Example usage:
    [pkmn=Pikachu] [pkmn=Nidoran (F)] [pkmn=Unown/X Forme] [pkmn=Venusaur/Mega Forme (F)(S)]

• Parameters
  • PokemonName: Name of Pokémon species to be shown.
  • Optional [FormeName]: Name of Pokémon Forme to be shown.
  • Optional [Modifier]: Can be used to display icons for female and/or Shiny, Albino, or Melanistic Pokémon.
• Information
  • Shows an icon of the specified Pokémon. If FormeName is specified, shows an icon of the specified Pokémon, in the specified Forme.
  • For Exclusive Pokémon, you must use an empty FormeName. Otherwise, you will get a generic (non-exclusive) Pokémon icon.
  • You can get a generic Pokémon icon by using "Missing Number" as the PokemonName.
  • Unlike FormeName, Modifier utilizes parentheses instead of slashes. If Modifier is specified, shows an icon of the specified variant. If no icon exists for the specified variant, the normal icon will be displayed instead.
  • To use the Modifier for shiny, albino, or melanistic Pokémon, you must use capital letters: (S) for shiny, (A) for albino, and (M) for melanistic.
  • FormeName and Modifier can be used together to display variants of alternate formes.
  • For Unown, omitting the FormeName will give you a random letter each time the page is loaded.
• Example
  • [pkmn=Mightyena]
  • 
  • [pkmn=Mightyena/Mega Forme Q]
  • 
  • [pkmn=Shinxel/]

  • 
  • [pkmnpanel=gq5]
  • 

Progress Bar

• Tag
  • [progress=Completion/Goal]Message[/progress]
• Parameters
  • Completion: How far you want the progress bar to fill based on the Goal.
  • Goal: "Out of" value; Affects how much progress is made.
  • Message: Message to be displayed on the Progress Bar.
• Information
  • This BBCode is used to create a progress bar.
  • The Completion and Goal parameters must:
    • Be positive integers
    • Consist of only numerical characters (0-9), or [inventory] tags in quotation marks. (Placing [inventory] tags without quotation marks will cause an error.)
  • The Goal may be less than the Completion, but will cause the Progress bar to extend off the container.
  • The Message may be any text and can even use BBCode, though it should be kept short enough to fit onto the progress bar.
• Examples
  • [progress=3/5]I got 3 out of 5![/progress]
  • 
  • Assuming the player has 65 Gold Poké:
  • [progress="[inventory=gold]/450"][item=Exp. Share][inventory=gold]/450 GP to the Exp. Share![/progress]

Notes

• When defining parameters that use brackets ([ and ]), quotes may be used to stop the parser looking for the first right bracket.

E.g. [tip="This tip uses brackets! [[ ] [ ][ ] ]"]Brackets![/tip]

• If one were to end a line with [ then start the next with ], then the new line is ignored. Furthermore, any other characters are ignored up until the first right bracket. This allows for for easier organisation.

Example:

[url=http://pokefarm.wiki/BBCode#Notes][

This text is after a newline, after a left bracket, and will not be visible.

]Wowie, this sure is a link![

][/url]

results in

Wowie, this sure is a link!

• If one were to end a line with [* and then have *] a few lines after (or even the next line), then all of the new lines and all characters are ignored in between, including BBCode that may have been defined within it. This allows for ease when temporarily removing sections from a post while preserving it in the same form in the event one needs it again at a later date.

Example:

[url=http://pokefarm.wiki/BBCode#Notes][*

[b]This text is after a newline,[/b] after a left bracket, and [u]will not be visible.[/u]

*]Wowie, this sure is a link![*

*][/url]

results in

Wowie, this sure is a link!
