Dates should be formatted in accordance with RFC 2822. Unless you are a complete nerd, here's what that sort of means:

Day(numeral) Month(FullText) Year(4 Digit Numeral) Hour(24 format):Minute(with leading zero):Seconds(leading zeros) Timezone(3 letter)

21 August 2007 12:00:00 PST

BBCode can be nested to create more advanced formatting. For example:

    [b][u]Bold, underlined text[/u][/b] produces Bold, underlined text
