Features -------- * Non-regex based (except for the split) * Handles deep nesting of tags * Generates good html even from bad input * Easy configuration to add new tags * Tags supported: p, b, i, u, s, del, ins, ol, ul, li, dl, dt, dd, quote, code, spoiler, url, img Usage -------- BBCoder.new(text).to_html # or "[p]my string[/p]".bbcode_to_html Install ------- gem install bbcoder Configuration ----------------------- BBCoder.configure do tag :b, :as => :strong tag :ul tag :ol tag :li, :parents => [:ol, :ul] tag :img, :match => /^.*(png|bmp|jpg|gif)$/ do %() end tag :code do <<-EOS
EOS end tag :url do if meta.nil? || meta.empty? %(#{content}) else %(#{content}) end end end Options for #tag * :as (symbol) -> use this as the html element ([b] becomes strong) * :match (regex) -> convert this tag and its content to html only if the content matches the regex * :parents ([symbol]) -> ignore this tag if there is no open tag that matches its parents When you pass a block to #tag it is expecting you to return a string. You have two variables available to your block: * meta -> Everything after the '=' in the opening tag (with [quote="Legendary"] meta returns '"Legendary"' and with [quote] meta returns nil) * content -> Everything between the two tags (with [b]strong arm[/b] content returns 'strong arm') Author ------ Original author: John "asceth" Long
