(I've included the * so that the code wouldn't actually function. You would leave this out)

That's all there is to it.
Minor typo here: the slash in the code that ends the URL should be a forward slash /, not a backslash \ as posted. (This is consistent with the forward slash that ends the scope of any bbcode tag.)
