BBCode & Embed Guide

So we are on a new board and there are a lot of new features and amongst these are a host of new BBCodes and Embed options.

Most of the BBCode available to you will be in the toolbars above the posting section. Beyond these there are some hidden ones, some custom ones, and some I feel I should go over with you.

First of these hidden BBC is the [nobbc][nobbc][/nobbc] tag, this tag will be important in writing this guide as it disables BBCode within it and allows me to show them to you. Where [nobbc][nobbc][/nobbc] fails I will likely use the [nobbc]
Code:
[/nobbc] tag to show it to you as code.

[nobbc][spoiler][/spoiler][/nobbc]
You can edit the text displayed leading into your spoiler tag by adding after an '=' sign.

[b]Example:[/b] [nobbc][spoiler=[/nobbc][i]New Spoiler Text[/i][nobbc]][/nobbc]
[b]Result:[/b]
[spoiler=New Spoiler Text][/spoiler]

[*][size=11][b]Concerning Thumbnails[/b][/size]
[nobbc][hs width=X height=Y][/hs][/nobbc]
One of the advanced BBCodes is the ability to generate thumbnails and a Javascript popup for large images. Define the width & height values with a [nobbc][hs][/nobbc] tag to use this feature.

[b]Example:[/b] [nobbc][hs width=100height=100]http://i39.tinypic.com/2qnb0r6.png[/hs][/nobbc]
[b]Result:[/b] [hs width=100 height=100]http://i39.tinypic.com/2qnb0r6.png[/hs]

I'm still not entirely sure about embedding soundcloud clips. How am I supposed to use the code you provided? Is it possible to explain the process in a little more detail?

The tags
PHP:

should work (for individual tracks at least)
