Creating an Ordered list

The second type of list, an ordered list, gives you control over what is output before each item. To create an ordered list you use

    to create a numbered list or alternatively
      for an alphabetical list. As with the unordered list, items are specified using [*]. For example:


        [*]Go to the shops
        [*]Buy a new computer
        [*]Swear at computer when it crashes


      will generate the following:

      Go to the shops
      Buy a new computer
      Swear at computer when it crashes

      Whereas for an alphabetical list you would use:


        [*]The first possible answer
        [*]The second possible answer
        [*]The third possible answer


      giving

      The first possible answer
      The second possible answer
      The third possible answer

      Creating Links

      Linking to another site

      The first of these uses the tag, whatever you type after the = sign will cause the contents of that tag to act as a URL. For example to link to tanyamerced.bravesites.com you could use:

      Visit A Touch of Peace!

      This would generate the following link, Visit A Touch of Peace! Please notice that the link opens in the same window or a new window depending on the users browser preferences.
      If you want the URL itself displayed as the link you can do this by simply using:

      http://tanyamerced.bravesites.com

      This would generate the following link, http://www.phpbb.com/
      Additionally, phpBB features something called Magic Links, this will turn any syntactically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://. For example typing www.phpbb.com into your message will automatically lead to www.phpbb.com being output when you view the message.
      The same thing applies equally to e-mail addresses, you can either specify an address explicitly for example:

      [email]no.one@domain.adr[/email]

      which will output no.one@domain.adr or you can just type no.one@domain.adr into your message and it will be automatically converted when you view.

      As with all the BBCode tags you can wrap URLs around any of the other tags such as "> (see next entry), [/b], etc. As with the formatting tags it is up to you to ensure the correct open and close order is following, for example:



      is not correct which may lead to your post being deleted so take care.

      Showing images in posts

      Adding an image to a post
      phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and secondly the image you display must already be available on the internet (it cannot exist only on your computer for example, unless you run a webserver!). To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with "> tags. For example:



      As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a tag if you wish, e.g.

      %%bbCodeItem_1%%

      would generate:
