Help - Code

This page exists to give you a run down of the formatting code (also called RTF, BBS Code, and so forth) for Slacknet IRC Network. This code works in most places you can type in text, but not all of them; primarily it's used in articles, blogs, the forums, and so forth.

Standard Formatting

Code	Lingo	Result
[b]text[/b]	Bold	text
[i]text[/i]	Italics	text
[u]text[/u]	Underline	text
[pre]text[/pre]	Pre-formatted	Creates a preformatted text area in a monospace font, it does not have wrapping ability, so using this on the forums can get you into trouble.
[spoiler]text[/spoiler]	Spoiler	Creates a "spoiler text" by blacking it out unless the reader moves his or her mouse over the text, for example: text
[sub]text[/sub]	Sub	This _text is yours, great for things like "H₂O"
[sup]text[/sup]	Sup	This ^text is yours, great for things like "1^st place!"
[h1][/h1]	Header 1	Header level 1 - Primarily used in articles, avoid using on the forums.
[h2][/h2]	Header 2	Header level 2 - Primarily used in articles, avoid using on the forums.
[h3][/h3]	Header 3	Header level 3 - Primarily used in articles, avoid using on the forums.
