What is a "BBCode" and what does it stand for?

[Sasusaph9135]

I need some help in understanding what a BBCode is and what it stands for.
I'm trying to get a different text on my Gaiaonline profile but I don't
understand what it is and what it stands for. If you could please help me
figure this out, I would greatly appriciate it. Thanks a lot!

BBCode is a kind of markup (just like HTML) commonly used on forums.
It has nothing to do wtih Word as far as I know. You might want to
look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode for more information.
