how can i add something to that list of shortcuts and what do the numbers mean at the beginning and end?

any good sites to learn more about this piece of "code"?

I don't know what to tell you about finding out more details and such however I will say you should change that long ass code into a codebox which is available via the BB Code Help on the left.
