um, people use url tags like all the time lol. table tags too. [tt] and [code] are common in conversations about programming. super and subscript also show up occasionally, especially for things like exponents
but no, I've never really seen anyone use the email or ftp tags

table (not sure how to use this)

table allows you to make a table for easy alignment

tr is "table row" and td is "table data"

[tr1 / td1]	[tr1 / td2]	[tr1 / td3]
[tr2 / td1]	[tr2 / td2]	[tr2 / td3]
[tr3 / td1]	[tr3 / td2]	[tr3 / td3]

EDIT: I actually used tables in this post https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=290622.0

This is a really rare one. Not quite sure what it does.
FTP and Email tags are also really rare.
One tag many of you probably don't know about is the [nobbc] tag.

We need buttons for tags that don't have buttons, like [anchor=anchor_name], [iurl=#anchor_name], [nobbc], and [abbr=hover text]

and it's not all that rare. I use it all the time for code, because the actual [code] tag is hideous

TT is a monospace font useful for code.
iii
mmm
iii mmm
Note that the tt variant has them all lined up nicely.
Ironically enough code does not have monospace.

Code: [Select]
