How to format posts?

Before writing new forum posts the empty box says:
“Use Markdown, BBCode, or HTML to format.”

HTML i know a bit already but what does these BBCode and Markdown mean?
I am goin to search internet eventually but I am just curious if any of You can point the way or have any formatting knowledge to share. I mean general ways to make text colorful, aligning, adding links / images and so on.

BBcode you can add images with img /img and links with url /url inside square brackets

It would be cool to know how to resize images, put text monospaced like text editor in a box with a slider and also to be able to jump to a certain point in a video.

This forum seems to accept 3 kind of markup languages:
(Remove the spaces from my examples below)

[ b ]BBCode[ /b ] . . . BBCode
< b >HTML< /b > . . . HTML
** Markdown ** . . . Markdown

And you have also the little buttons to help you!

Now If you remove the spaces inside brackets:

[ code ]10 print “hello world”;[ /code ]

Gives you monospace text with colored syntax:

10 print "hello world";

A couple of handy ones I’ve found along the way:

1] Backslash to escape special chars \

2] Multiline code, use three graves above and below the text ```

code here
and here

3] Strikethrough, use two tilde in a row ~~ before and after text:

strikethrough

4] Details to hide text:

[details = My Details Title]
Some Text Here
[/details]:

My Details Title

Some Text Here
