The forum code is a simple scripting language much like HTML. All tag names are enclosed in square brackets [ ]. Most forum tags have a start tag [example] and an end tag [/example]. Some have parameters like [example=color] and do not require an end tag.
These tags are valid almost anywhere you can enter text on Nexopia.
Here is a list of all the tags and the syntax to use them.
