If I wanted to show someone in a post what phpBB code tags to use to create certain formatting / layout effects in a post, how can I show those BB codes in a post without the BB code parser interpreting them as BB codes? Is there a way to escape the '[' character?
And how can I specify a specific ASCII character? e.g. A doesn't seem to generate the character 'A', it just shows 'A'. (Yes, I know I can just type the character 'A', but that isn't the point...)
Anyone?
EDIT:
Just found that BB code parsing can be suspended in Head-Fi posts for anything wrapped between [PLAIN] and [/PLAIN] tags (see, it works!
).
The BB codes supported on Head-Fi can be found here
It does appear no direct character code input is supported though, neither in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal format
On the other hand, I had already noticed that some undocumented BB codes are supported, e.g.:
[SUP] ... [/SUP] for superscript and [SUB] ... [/SUB] for subscript.
