Pitchero now gives you more flexibility when adding content to your website with BBCode.
BBCode allows you to format text, and add links or images to your pages without any knowledge of HTML. To start using BBCode simply add a few extra tags when creating your content and formatting will be added automatically.
Tags are usually indicated by square brackets and looks something like this: [b]This text will be bold[/b]. Remember that every opening tag ([b]) should have a matching closing tag ([/b]) apart from when you are using the [line].
You can make text [b]bold[/b] [i]italic[/i] or [s]crossed out[/s] by adding these short tags
You can also wrap text in more than one tag to [b][i]combine formatting[/i][/b].
Some content can be made [size=large]larger[/size] or [size=small]smaller[/size] easily.
This is the easiest way to make a link clickable [url]http://www.pitchero.com[/url]
Alternatively you can specify [url=http://www.pitchero.com]different text[/url] as your link
Linking to an email address is easy [email]anything@example.com[/email]
As with the [link] tag you can specify alternative clickable text [email=anything@example.com]Email Pitchero Support[/email]
You can break up you content with a horizontal line
[line]
This content will apear after the line.
You can add an image with its original dimmensions like this [img]http://www.pitchero.com/bbcode/image.jpg[/img]
Or you can specify a width (in pixels) and the height will be calculated automatically [img=150]http://www.pitchero.com/bbcode/image.jpg[/img]
Finally you can specify the width and height (respectively) if you want to squash the image [img=150x20]http://www.pitchero.com/bbcode/image.jpg[/img]
Adding a list can make content more readable. For a standard bullet point list use the following:
[list]
[*]This is the first list item
[*]This is the second list item
[*]And so on - add as many as you like...
[/list]
To make your list numbered simply add "numbered" to your list tag as follows:
[list=numbered]
[*]This is the first list item
[*]This is the second list item
[*]And so on - add as many as you like...
[/list]
To add a table you need to use 3 tags: table, row and cell. Cells go within rows and rows go within a table. A basic table works as follows:
[table]
[row][cell]Row 1, col 1[/cell][cell]Row 1, col 2[/cell][cell]Row 1, col 3[/cell][/row]
[row][cell]Row 2, col 1[/cell][cell]Row 2, col 2[/cell][cell]Row 2, col 3[/cell][/row]
[row][cell]Row 3, col 1[/cell][cell]Row 3, col 2[/cell][cell]Row 3, col 3[/cell][/row]
[/table]
You can add as many rows or columns as you like but note that there should always be the [b]same number of cells in each column[/b]

Row 1, col 1 | Row 1, col 2 | Row 1, col 3 |
Row 2, col 1 | Row 2, col 2 | Row 2, col 3 |
Row 3, col 1 | Row 3, col 2 | Row 3, col 3 |
You can add as many rows or columns as you like but note that there should always be the same number of cells in each column
If you want to merge cells together you can also specify how many to merge:
[table]
[row][cell=2]Row 1, cols 1 & 2[/cell][cell]Row 3, col 3[/cell][/row]
[row][cell]Row 2, col 1[/cell][cell]Row 2, col 2[/cell][cell]Row 2, col 3[/cell][/row]
[row][cell]Row 3, col 1[/cell][cell=2]Row 3, cols 2 & 3[/cell][/row]
[row][cell=3]Row 4, cols 1, 2 & 3[/cell][/row]
[/table]
Once again make sure that all of your columns add up correctly or your table may not display as you would like.
