The full form of BB code is Bulletin Board Code.
BBCode is a lightweight markup language used primarily within Internet forum software. Its purpose is to allow users to format their messages without needing to learn HTML or other complex web languages. It was introduced in 1998 to simplify formatting on online bulletin boards. The formatting is done using tags enclosed in square brackets, like [b]bold text[/b] for bolding text. These tags are then parsed and converted into HTML code by the forum software before being displayed to other users.
BBCode offers a simpler alternative to HTML, making it easier for users of all technical skill levels to create formatted posts. While its specific features and implementations can vary depending on the forum software used, its core function remains consistent: to provide a user-friendly way to format text on message boards.
