Links [url] [/url] [url]http://www.example.com[/url] http://www.example.com
Links inside Text [url=] [/url] [url=http://www.example.com ]This is a Link[/url] This is a Link
Images [img] [/img] [img]image_link[/img] (image)
Bold [b] [/b] [b]This text is in Bold.[/b] This text is in Bold.
Italic [i] [/i] [i]This text is in Italic.[/i] This text is in Italic.
Underline [u] [/u] [u]This text is underlined[/u] This text is underlined
Strikethrough [s] [/s] [s]This Text is strikethrough[/s] This Text is strikethrough
Superscript [sup] [/sup] x[sup]2[/sup] x2
Subscript [sub] [/sub] H[sub]2[/sub]O : Water H2O : Water
eMails [email] [/email] [email]me@something.com[/email] me@something.com
eMails inside Text [email=] [/email] [email=me@something.com]My mail[/email] My mail

Center [center][/center] [center]text[/center] text
Right [right][/right] [right]text[/right] text
Indent [indent][/indent] [indent]text[/indent]
text

Note2: BBCode are in Bold to differentiate the way to do it well,links are in Blue, Image links in Red, and Mails in Green.

Note3: Some famous BBCode, like Color or Font type, are not implemented on this Media Module.
