File Format
Name BBCode
Ontology
Released 1997?

BBCode is a plaintext markup language that compiles to HTML. It looks a lot like HTML, but uses square brackets instead of angle brackets, and makes a number of modifications for user-friendliness.

It is popular in forum software, especially phpBB. With the decline of independently run forums in the 2010's, BBCode has become a bit old hat. Reddit, Slack, and GitHub all prefer Markdown.
