The C1Editor control supports BBCode, or Bulletin Board Code, which is a markup language used to format posts in message boards. Simply set the Mode property to take advantage of this feature.

<cc1:C1Editor ID="C1Editor1" runat="server" Mode="Bbcode" />

1. Create an ASP.NET Web application.
2. Add a C1Editor control to the main content of your page.
