Question

Tutorial: bbcode in chat
(Bold, font, color, etc.)

Have you ever seen someone in chat make their text bold, italicized, bigger, or in a different font? Maybe you're asking how you can do that too, as many have in the past. Well, this tutorial will teach you what you need to input in the chat in order to take effect. With this knowledge you'll be able to bold, underline, quote, and even change the size of what you're writing. Just remember NOT to be annoying with it.

And if anyone asks about the topic in the future, feel free to redirect them here!
And remember, the best place to test all these codes is in the chats. :)

Without further ado, here we go!

Answer 7
