I find that the BBcode editor in phpBB sucks and the BBcodes are quite limited see BBCode FAQ for more details. Examples of tutorial style are
HOWTO: manage VDIs and import native installations and Tutorial: All about VDIs. If you want to look at or to extract someone else's BBcode is to quote the article and delete the quote block.
I also keep a backup master in my in my text editor and do all of the work there then use Ctl+V,Ctl+A, etc to past it across. And as I said, breaking the article into sections makes it more manageable. Another thing that I recommend is to program up some shortcuts to insert , etc
You will also see that <CR> and <SPACE> have significance, but that multiple spaces are collapsed. so
here is a list:
- firstpoint
is different from
here is a list:- first point.
You can also use
- first point.
- for numbered lists.
Also use the [url=http:....]url title[/url] format for references where practical. They are just easier on the eye.
Anyway quote some of my tutorial to see these trick in action.
