BB stands for "Bulletin Board". BB Code was first created in February 1998, and was used in the forum software UBB v3.0. It allows people who don't know about HTML to still manipulate the way their text will look on the web.

The main difference between BBCode and HTML is that in HTML we use < > , while BBCode requires use [ ]
For example,
allow links in html we wrie code <a href="siteurl">Keyword</a>
but in BB Code [url = siteurl/ ] Keyword [ /url ]

That's about it for the BBCode language.
Hope that helps you

BB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use BB code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.

BB code stands for "Bulletin Board Code" and is the forum version of HTML. It is encased in brackets "[]". It allows message formatting while not allowing users to use HTML in their messages. What happens is that the forum system parses "reads" the submitted message and looks for things inside the brackets and then puts in HTML for those brackets of BB Code. For example, if I had a message like this in BB code:

Hello everyone!. There is a Link (http://www.incion.com)
