bbcodeCustom BBcode
I created a few BBCode tags for easy manpage linking:
page
chmodWhich results in:
chmod
Note that the section is mandatory.
The tags are:
fman - FreeBSD 7.0
oman - OpenBSD 4.3 i386
nman - NetBSD 4.0
dman - DragonFlyBSD
lman - Debian "sid" GNU/Linux
Commandline examples
is more or less the same as [code], but it's more compact and intended for one-line commandline examples:
For non-root users use the % prompt:
[cmd=%]ping daemonforums.org
ping daemonforums.org
For root use the # prompt:
ifconfig xl0 up
ifconfig xl0 up
File and directory paths

[anchor]imagesImages
Adding images with is currently allowed, but please do not post images larger than ~640x480, we're not going to fret about a few pixels, but please use thumbnails/links if you want to post an image larger than this, for example:
[img]http://carpetsmoker.net/images/desktop_thumb.png (http://carpetsmoker.net/images/desktop.png)Which will result in:
http://carpetsmoker.net/images/desktop_thumb.png (http://carpetsmoker.net/images/desktop.png)
Images significantly larger than 640x480 will have the [img] tags removed without notice.
