You can add BBCode to your posts to format them, BBCode works in much the same way as HTML and Markdown markup tags in text. The tags surround the text to format. BBCode consists of tags made from brackets [ and ]. You can read a good guide over at www.bbcode.org In addition to the common BBCode tags we have a couple of additional ones that should make writing about Oldhammer and associated game systems easier. Statlines You may wish to include the statistics for your heroes an villains and this can be done using the statline tag {M},{WS},{BS},{S},{T},{W},{I},{A},{Ld},{Int},{Cl},{WP},{Points Value} For example: 4,3,3,3,3,1,3,1,7,7,7,7,5 Will create: 4,3,3,3,3,1,3,1,7,7,7,7,5 Which is suitable for Warhammer Fantasy Battle and...
