If you're asking if codes are universally the same, the short answer is that they may vary from forum to forum.

DS Forums uses SMF BBC but thanks to MB we also have a few custom made codes.  Other SMF boards will also support SMF BBC.  Other types of forums (not Simple Machines Forums) will probably have their own versions of BBC that may be very similar to SMF's, whereas some forums may use HTML alone or in combination with BBC, and some may not support either.  SMF BBC is a variation of HTML anyway.

Shorter still, a code that works here might not work elsewhere.  Did that answer your question?

Any tags that you want to show up as code have to be between the code tags.  See Help for an example.

Bulletin Board Code.  There's a Help section on it.
