BBCode tag reference

The following basic set of BBCode tags are supported by the BBCodeBlock control. If you require more advanced text formatting features, you need to fallback to using XAML.

[b]

Bold

[i]

Italic

[u]

Underline

[color={value}]

Set foreground color where {value} is a valid XAML color string

[size={value}]

Sets the font size measured in pixels

[url={link}]

Renders a navigable hyperlink for the enclosed text. See also BBCodeBlock navigation features

Notes

• Every opening tag must be followed by a closing tag.
• BBCode tags can be nested. This snippet renders the text bold and italic: [b][i]some text[/i][/b]
• Whenever a BBCode parse error occurs, the BBCodeBlock renders the actual BBCode.
