geeking history -

This version of markup language is actually a dinosaur called UBB code . All variants of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) from the 1980s

which resulted in a subset/profile Extensible Markup Language (XML) in the 1990s for structuring arbitrary data

and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) as the basis for display formatting of web pages which uses XML for non display and linking functions.

UBB markup is a simplified markup language used to format messages in internet forums. It was created by Infopop in 1998 and is designed to be easier to learn than HTML. UBB markup allows users to add formatting such as bold and italics, and other information like emails and URLs, to their posts without needing to know HTML.

Here are some key points about UBB markup:

Tags are enclosed in square brackets, e.g., bold text for bold text.

If used incorrectly, UBB tags do not break the forum’s functionality, unlike HTML tags which can cause errors.

UBB markup works similarly to HTML tags; text is enclosed between opening and closing tags.

It can be used even when HTML is disabled by the forum administrator.
