BBCode or Bulletin Board Code is a lightweight markup language used to format posts in many message boards. The available tags are usually indicated by square brackets ([ ]) surrounding a keyword.

Edge of Darkness

• Bare-bones list

• Alias
• BBCode
• Tracker

Mention / @

The easiest way to ensure another player sees a thread is to 'tag' or 'mention' them. This will give them a notification to the thread. This is done by using the button/box at the top of every thread (pictured to the right) or within a post using BBCode. The BBCode is used by:

• @Name
• [MENTION]NAME[/MENTION]
• The 'Name' must be identical to the player/character forum name. If you want to MENTION Garrick Marlon, then it must be @Konrad Roth or [MENTION]Konrad Roth[/MENTION], not @Konrad (no last name) or @Konrad_Roth (underscore instead of space).
• If the @ code is used instead of [MENTION], there needs to be a space before the @ and after the last character of the name, otherwise the code will ignore it or read those characters as part of the name.

Health

Used to track health. Each of the numbers, in order, represent the number of Aggravated, Lethal, Bashing, and Full health boxes to display. If no damage is sustained of a certain type, use a 0. 0|0|0|7 would show 7 full health bars 0|0|3|4 would show 3 bashing and 4 full (total 7).

Stats

Catch-all BBCode used to track Health, Fuel, and Willpower. Use with "type|value" between the brackets. See image.
