ok guys pls tell me that will the same will work if the link is given to some other web site?

and if i m linking some other web site than the format will be same ?

yes, check the wiki article for the same, it would clear normal confusions.

well let me make it clear to you
this forum and many other forums will understand BB code
while a site other than a forum i.e a web page etc
will understand html etc
example :say i post a hyperlink for M$ here

Microsoft
for the above i have used Bbcodes
i.e this

Code:

[url=www.microsoft.com]Microsoft[/url]

now i want to show this hyper link on a website other than a forum

Microsoft
well obviously it wont show up here as this board does not understand Html

so by that whenever you want to post a hyper link
at a forum you will strictly have to use Bbcode
and while you are on a website other than a forum
you will strictly have to use HTML

i.e both dont understand each other

Forum:dont understand html ,understands bbcode
website(other than a forum):dont understand BBcode ,understands Html etc

hope you got it
