BBCode Plugin

This plugin provides support for BBCode syntax within DokuWiki. BBCode is popular among discussion forums like phpBB or vBulletin. The BBCode plugin supports almost all of the phpBB implementation of BBCode.

Of course, DokuWiki's syntax is much more powerful and is more intuitive to read and write, but nevertheless, you might want to switch content from a forum to your wiki or make it easy for users coming from forums to start contributing.

Basic Formatting:

[b]bold text[/b]
[i]italic text[/i]
[u]underline[/u]
[s]deleted[/s]
[m]monospace[/m]

Code and Quoting:

[code]<?php echo $text;[/code]

Lists:

[list][*]item 1[*]item 2[*]item 3[/list]
[list=1][*]item 1[*]item 2[*]item 3[/list]  attribute: 1, a, A, i or I

Textsize and Color:

[size=90%]smaller text[/size]               attribute: numeric value (px, em, %, ...) or keywords like small
[color=red]colored text[/color]             attribute: color name, #fff[fff] or rgb(255,255,255)

• Images within a link aren't supported. Use DokuWiki's syntax [[http://www.some.url|{{http://www.some.url/logo.png}}]].

I don't know how to install it! When I extracted the gz file, I only got a file named “plugin-bbcode”.

This code doesn't work at all =/

Works for me, do you have a link were I can have a look at it? — Michael Klier 2008/05/11 21:55

Works for me also. This plugin is great! 2008-06-06 Juice

Could you please add support for ODT plugin? Now all code inside e.g. [color=red][/color] is just get missed in generated ODT document

Will do, just put it on my ToDo list. — Michael Klier 2008/10/31 12:30

Great plugin. Can you add support for other syntax, such as strike-through and monospace like the DokuWiki forum has? (i.e.: [s] → [/s] and [m] → [/m]). Thanks! — 'Ryan Chappelle' 2008/12/08 16:50

Done (finally). — Michael Klier 2009/02/06 20:50

Hey it's me again. Just realizing that the tags seem to be case–sensitive. And lowercase only. Can they be made case-insensitive? or is any reason why they shouldn't? — Luis Machuca B. 2009/02/11 23:33

Yes, me again. I've been working on several modifications to the BBCode plugin for compatibility because of data importing I have been doing from a vBulletin forum. I've added support for single-digit sizes for [SIZE] tag, alignment tags ([LEFT], [CENTER] and [RIGHT]), and quoted parameters for [URL]]' and [QUOTE]''. Also the tag case thing. Wanted to know if you're interested in the changes. — Luis Machuca B. 2009/05/03 03:35
