I am very firmiliar with HTML, is it that it's not popular in SMF or is it just not allowed? I am wondering how to put in HTML code instead of BCC or whatever example of HTML:
Code:
<img src= url of image>
example of the other one I'm talking about:
Code:
[img]url of image[/img]

The reason is because hackers can use HTML to seriously damage your site.  BBCode is also a lot simpler for non-coders to use on a general basis.  Really, BBCode should not be hard to learn at all for someone who is familiar with HTML.

Well HTML is pretty popular.  But you can't do as many  things with it as you can with java script and things like that.

It isn't which is more popular or functional.

Javascript wouldn't be possible without HTML.
PHP isn't possible without HTML
Websites aren't possible without HTML

However, websites are REALLY boring with just HTML. So Javascript, PHP and a whole ton of other languages are used to enchance the HTML, not replace it.

BBCode is only used because it is easier to understand than HTML(in general), and it won't do any damage to anyones forums because it isn't actually a language. Your forum just takes the BBCode and turns it into HTML...and rejects all HTML that is tried to be put manually into a post.
Makes it so that nobody can mess with your forum by putting unwanted HTML in.

HTML is a markup language you see?
XML is a markup language

Java is a programming language
PHP is a programming language(or something?)

JavaScript is a scripting language

It's pretty popular, not as popular as Java,Javascript, or C++ but people use it to build websites

HTML is the most popular language on the internet.
I can guarantee it.

PHP makes HTML
CSS designs HTML
Javascript manipulates HTML
Servers serve HTML

I just noticed the original question  was never really answered.
Even though its a really old post Ill answer it now for those that arent aware you can do this.

You, as Administrator, CAN use HTML in posts.   To do so you would do this:

Code:
[html]

Put the html code here.
For instance:
<img src="image url">

[/html]

Its quicker to just use the bbcode functions in the editor however the html tags can be handy for posting some things, like widgets and some embed codes.

BBcode isn't even considered a language anyways. All BBcode does is provide some control over people not submitting unauthorized/harmful (in terms to screwing up the template or inserting flash) (x)HTML or other languages into posts.
