	TSR : About : Posting : ICcode ICcode Help Page "ICcode" is a way of adding special features (like bold and hyperlinks) to text you contribute to the The Slave Register website. You can use ICcode in any input box that lets you enter more than one line of text: currently that is the bodies of web board posts you write, the main part of a memo, the bodies of O&P Wiki articles, the extended info on your profile page and the long descriptions you can add to pictures you upload. ICcode is specific to The Slave Register and Informed Consent, but is intentionally very similar to phpBB's "BBcode" and Snitz Forum's "Forum Code", and all three are indirectly related to HTML. Paragraphs To start a new paragraph, just leave a blank line. Other than that, you don't need to worry about where you start new lines since it won't make any difference: This text produces this output this text will be on one line A new paragraph this text will be on one line A new paragraph Smileys To get a smiley in your text, just include one of the following combinations of punctuation: :) or :-) :( or :-( ;) or ;-) :-p =-o :* or :-* >:o 8-) :-D :-$ Links to web pages If you include a "word" starting with "http://" or "www." it will be interpreted as a hyperlink URL to another web page. For example: www.google.com You can also make links using something like: [url=http://www.google.com/]Google Search Engine[/url] which will produce a link with your choice of text displayed to your readers rather than the URL address itself: Google Search Engine Links to profile pages You can put a link to someone's profile page with @ followed by their profile name, rather like you can on Twitter. For example: This example uses the @Admin profile page Quoting You can indicate that you're quoting text using quotation marks (") as you would in ordinary text. However, you can also make a block of quoted text really stand out using [quote] and [/quote] For example: This text produces this output [quote=Admin] some text [/quote] some reply Admin wrote: some text some reply If you don't want to give the writer's name, just use [quote] rather than [quote=NAME]. If you do give a profile name, it will be used to make a link to the corresponding profile page. Bold You can make bold text by surrounding words or phrases in [b] and [/b]. For example, "Google has a [b]huge[/b] database" will produce "Google has a huge database" Headings You can make a subheading within your text by starting a paragraph with [heading] and writing the heading as the rest of the paragraph. The heading must not include any other ICcode commands. For example: This text produces this output The previous paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. [heading]A subheading The next paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. The previous paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. A subheading The next paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. Item lists You can make an itemised list within your text by starting paragraphs with [item] and writing the item as the rest of the paragraph. For example: This text produces this output The previous paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. [item]First item [item]Second item The next paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. The previous paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. First item Second item The next paragraph of words in the text that you've written goes here. Pictures TSR lets you upload pictures, using the Manage Pictures page in Your Settings. The pictures you've uploaded can be seen by anyone if they follow the Pictures link from your profile page. However, it's also possible to embed thumbnail versions of those pictures in text you write using ICcode. To do this, simply put [picture=NNNNN] where NNNNN is the ID number of your picture. You can find this out by looking at the full size version of your picture when you're signed-in to TSR: the correct [picture=NNNNN] code appears after the picture and any description you've given. For example, you can see the full size page for Admin's smiley face by clicking on it: when Admin looks at that page, Admin also sees [picture=112046] (since it's one of Admin's own pictures.) If Admin included [picture=112046] in some ICcode text, you would see a thumbnail like the one here. If you do this before the picture is approved, you will see the message "Not yet approved" until the picture is approved or rejected. If you give the wrong number, or try to embed a picture which has been rejected or that you have deleted, you will see the message "No such picture!" You can choose the size of the picture by adding small, medium or large immediately before the final ], to get an 80, 300 or 600 pixel image. For example, [picture=112046 medium]. Links to TSR's O&P Wiki You can make links using something like: [wiki=Internal Enslavement]I.E.[/wiki] which will produce a link to the O&P Wiki article on IE with more information: I.E. Links to articles made with wiki= are not underlined: this makes them less of a distraction in the middle of a paragraph, and helps the viewer to distinguish them from links to other parts of TSR or external websites. Links to IC's BDSM Dictionary You can make links using something like: [about=Bondage]tying people up[/about] which will produce a link to the BDSM Dictionary article on Informed Consent with more information: tying people up Future additions We may add more special commands using [ and ] in the future, so we advise you not to use [ and ] yourself except as part of the commands explained on this page.
