New and improved BBCode parser in the works

[Vusys]

Everyone,

I’ve been working on a new BBCode parser aimed at fixing some of the shortcomings of the current one. Notably adding support for [nocode] tags, turning floating URLs into hyperlinks and detection of broken BBcode.

At the moment, I’ve only implemented the newer features and small subset of BBCode tags. I want to see if there are any show stopping bugs in what I’ve got so far.

There are two issues I currently know about and will work on sometime soonish:
Line numbering displayed for errors doesn’t increment inside [nocode] tags.
There’s currently no error detection for [url] tags

I’ve thrown together a quick demo script here:

http://random.vuii.co.uk/abe_bbcode/abe_bbcode2.php

Please try out the available BBCode and find any issues or quirks.

I’ve set the script to time out after 5 seconds in case of any infinite loops or other problems. All code generates a report like this. Please link to it (if any ) if you find a bug.

Explain?

Just manually type in some code like

[b]bold[/b]

and click parse.

No, like the subscript and superscript tags don’t work here, but they work on the test page

Why do you even bother to add blink, bl and marquee tags?

that’s because the code used here is not the same as the one used in that page.
