Supported Syntax Overview
For your convenience in contributing to the bCisive community, many fields accept a flavor of markup which allows you to contribute rich content including links, images, and more. This applies on the forums, blog comments as well as in map descriptions and comments.
The supported markup includes a subset of BBCode as well as Markdown.
Here are some examples:
Paragraphs
Use two enters (one completely blank line) to denote a new paragraph.
If you don't, your sentences will run together. Like this, with only one "enter" pressed between these two sentences.

Usernames prefixed with the @ character (at sign) become links to that bCisive user, as is common in contemporary usage of that character. For example:

@timo, are you concerned about the increase in tourism to Antarctica?
That's a beautiful map, @rob! [i]or[/i]
