BBCode-Cheatsheet
Welcome to the BBCode cheatsheet!
Contributions are welcome!
This is currently in development.
1. The basics
This is the section for Bold, Italics, and Strikethrough.
1a. Bold
You can use [b][/b] tags to make text ‘Bold’.
Example:
[b]Hello[/b] World!
would become Hello World!
1b. Italics
You can use [i][/i] tags to make text ‘Italic’.
Example:
[i]This is italic text.[/i]
would become This is italic text.
1c. Strikethrough
You can use [s][/s] tags to make text ‘Strikethrough’.
Example:
[s]This text is crossed out[/s]
would become This text is crossed out.
2. External Sites
2a. Images
To use images in the Scratch Forums, you need to upload your image to an approved image host, a list of them are below. You also need to be a Scratcher.
photobucket.com (costs money; has a free plan of up to 250 images with a watermark)
cubeupload.com (used by most Scratchers, however users must sign up for a account to upload images)
imageshack.com and imageshack.us (30-day free trial with account before payment is required)[1][2][3]
scratchr.org (The ScratchR domain is no longer owned by the Scratch Team, and is now an SMS sending service.)
wikipedia.org and related subdomains
wikimedia.org and related subdomains
scratch-dach.info (Now redirects to de.scratch-wiki.info)
scratch.mit.edu (most commonly using project thumbnails)
wiki.scratch.mit.edu (This domain can no longer be updated because of the Domain Transfer)
scratch-wiki.info (This works with all language subdomains, e.g. en.scratch-wiki.info)
source from the scratch wiki
To make this easier, you can use this image uploading bookmarklet to make things easier.
The tag:
[img]<your image link>[/img]
would show the image the link has.
2b. Links
You can link things to other websites in the forums. The tag to do this is:
[url=functionalmetatable.github.io]My GitHub Page[/url]
would become My GitHub Page
credit to Basic88 for the below tags
2c. Google Tags
You can use the [google][/google] tag to link to a google search. The text between the two tags will link to the word’s specific search, e.g
[google=Scratch]
Sample Text
[/google]
Would redirect you to Google, which has “Scratch” in its query box.
2d. Wikipedia Tags
You can use the [wp][/wp] tags to link to the wikipedia page of the text inbetween the tags, e.g
[wp=Scratch (programming language)]
Sample Text
[/wp]
would redirect you to scratch’s wikipedia page, which should be this
2e. Scratch Wiki Tags
You can use the [wiki][/wiki] tags to link to the scratch wiki page of the text inbetween the tags, e.g
[wiki=Scratch 3.0]
Sample Text
[/wiki]
would redirect you to scratch 3.0’s wiki page, which should be this
