Silly question about User name links

In some posts I've seen by others when a differnet users user name is in the text (I.E. not the poster but the poster entering another user name in the text), it appears as a link to to that user's profile. Is this done via BBCode or manually making the link? How is this done?

Example this post by AnMal in the introductions thread:

Jazzon - I think you will find that it is not a link, but just coloured text to make it standout. Some people also use @username.

LOL OK, I feel stupid now....I ASSUMED it was a link because it appeared in the same color as the user name links to the left of the post. (Hate to say it but we need a :facepalm icon)
