BBCode stands for Bulletin Board Code and is a standard convention used on Bulletin Boards throughout the web.
I have looked through a list of them and added some that I think would be useful for us here.
When you are posting, you will see the BBCode choices across the top of the text entry box.
If you hover over the BBCode it will give you some help on how to correctly format the BBCode.
Besides the ones I added there were some already installed that are useful as well. I used the Code BBCode to show an example of how each of the new BBCodes are formatted.
BBCodes. Try them you'll like them.

Here is a test of the cur BBCode. It was originally called char for character but I thought cur for currency made more sense for us here. I made the edit and cur works.
This is the symbol for yen ¥
This is the symbol for euro €
This is the symbol for GBP £
This is the symbol for cent ¢
That works really well and will be useful for what we write about.
This is the symbol for yen [cur]yen[/cur]
This is the symbol for euro [cur]euro[/cur]
This is the symbol for GBP [cur]pound[/cur]
This is the symbol for cent [cur]cent[/cur]
