List of formatting tags that work and do not work on the forums.

Hi,

I have tried countless times to get URLs to work in my signature. Are they disabled there for some reason?




I have found:
  • Bold
  • Italics
  • Underline
  • URL
  • [quote="TremorAcePV"]Quote[/quote]
    (Although it does not work in Lists)
  • [Ximg]Images[X/img]
  • Strikethrough
  • Boldened Color
    Different from just color as it also boldens the text. [Xb color="#DB9F00"]Example[X/b]
  • The Horizontal Line Rule used to separate this post into sections.
  • Code kind of works, but I cannot find a way to end it.
    [Xcode] does as it is supposed to, but [X/code] does not.


And obviously the list formatting I use to list that all works along with the Spoiler tags (use them for many large images/walls of text please). Is there a thread already listing all the formatting that works?

I occasionally see mods and others using very fancy formatting (different colors, line breaks, among other things).

Help would be appreciated. Particularly with the signature thing.

Thanks,
Tremor




P.S.

Ones that do not work are:
  • Move
    [move]Text[/move]
  • Preformatting
    [pre]Text[/pre]
  • Alignment
    [left]Text[/left][center][/center][right][/right]
  • Font size
    [size=#]Text[/size]
  • Font type
    [font=font]Text[/font]
  • Youtube video embedding
    [youtube]URL[/youtube]
  • Blockquotes (Though this is likely because we have the normal Quote system)
    [blockquote]Text[/blockquote]
  • Emails
    [email]Email Address[/email]
  • Tables
    [table][tr][td]Table Content[/td][/tr][/table]
  • Superscript
    [Xsup]Text[X/sup]
  • Subscript
    [Xsub]Text[X/sub]
  • Teletype
    [tt]Text[/tt]
  • Color
    [color=Red]Text[/color]
    Use Boldened Color.
  • Justify
    [justify]Text[/justify]
  • Collapse
    [collapse]Text[/collapse]
    Equivalent of Spoiler tag.


If there is an X in the code, the code will not appear when just typed out like the other code.

Oh, and do not use the * in the list code. PoE's forums use li rather than * because * breaks something. Weird.

Here is the code version (formatting shown in bbcode form) for this post (aside from this part):

Bump
Afraid I can't help here, but bump because I'd love to have this be a post I can reference. OP, do you know of a way to do nested spoilers?
I used to have a real forum signature
