How To Use Tags In NationStates

I've been hearing that a lot of people don't know how to use tags in their telegrams/RMB/whatever! It's in the FAQ guys! Here's the appropriate part copy/pasted:

You can use some BBCode-style tags to improve the look of your telegrams, Regional Message Board posts, and (if you control a region) your regional World Factbook Entry. These are:

• Bold: [b]Hello[/b] becomes: Hello
• Italic: [i]Hello[/i] becomes: Hello
• Underline: [u]Hello[/u] becomes: Hello
• Regions: [region]The Pacific[/region] becomes: The Pacific
• Nations: [nation]Testlandia[/nation] becomes: [flag deleted by Sirocco] The Borderlands of Testlandia
  You may optionally specify "short", "long", "flag" and "noflag" formats. If you omit these, the default is "long+flag".
  • [nation=short]Testlandia[/nation] becomes: [flag deleted by Sirocco] Testlandia
  • [nation=noflag]Testlandia[/nation] becomes: The Borderlands of Testlandia
  • [nation=short+noflag]Testlandia[/nation] becomes: Testlandia

The following tags work in Regional World Factbook Entries, but not telegrams or Regional Message Board posts:

• Links: [url=http://www.maxbarry.com]Hello[/url] becomes: Hello
• Colors: [color=blue]Hello[/color] becomes: Hello

I've omitted the wee flags because they didn't cross over to Blogger very well. In other news, I've recently added a brand new daily issue to the game. Although it credits me as editor, this one required little input by myself!

Oh, and NationStates 2 closed down today. Bye bye, NS2.
