I was hoping to find a thread which set out all the BBCodes and other formatting that are usable by regular users but don't have buttons above the edit box.
Since I didn't find one I thought I would start it!
Hopefully other users (and even mods/admins) will chip in with some that they know and we can make a reasonably complete list.

Itemsets provide a link instead of an image and the number you provide isn't the number for an itemset from the database but each item you want to be shown along with its slot (going itemset=slot,item,slot,item,etc):
\ ►
The most important bit
The number you give isn't the number for the item or object or npc from the database but the number for the 3D model specifically.
So, one of my favourite items in the game is the
Soul Harvester
But if we take the item's number (20536) and get the model for that we get:
What we need is not the itemID but the displayID. There isn't a very simple, easy way to get this number but what I do is view the page source for the modelviewer link where the displayID is listed. (I use Chrome to do this which has an option to view source when you right click. Other browsers have this option too).
I see there that it is 33087 which gives us

thanks koper!
i wonder if i could ask for more info on the \ code?
what is the number you put in? seconds/minutes?
after playing with it for 10 minutes i wasn't able to get it to behave particularly predictably.
also, what does "\" do and what should x equal?

\what is the number you put in? seconds/minutes?
The number you use seems to be a unix timestamp

Smashing, thanks. i wasn't sure of the best place for the thread.
i've added the ones that came up but still unsure of the use of "server" with the \ tag.
anyone got any ideas?
also if anyone has any suggestions for the general formatting tips section. i'm thinking specifically of tips/tricks that most forum-goers might not have come across.

I'll rip the secrets from your code!

You can omit
www.wowhead.com
from \ tags. \
You can link gems and enchants. \ = Shadowmourne with three +20 STR gems and Berserking
A note on gems and enchants. Gems use the itemID, but enchants use the enchantID. You find the enchantID by going to the spell's page and finding it under "Effect: Enchant Item: <Name of Enchant> (enchantID)".

brilliant!
hope it's ok that i just quote that whole section.
i've précised the other contributions to make them fit the format of the thread but there's lots of good stuff in your post that won't be better served by me typing it out.
