BBCode AST

[TheoryOfNekomata]

Considering there is already hast for HTML, I think an HTML-derived language like BBCode could also be implemented with some of the tweaks from generating HTML syntax trees.

The differences between BBCode and HTML is that the former:

• Can have custom tags
• Has a different implementation of certain tags, such as url ([url]https://example.com[/url] and [url=https://example.com]Foobar[/url]) img ([img]https://example.com/image.jpg[/img])
  Relevant links:
• https://www.phpbb.com/community/help/bbcode

Interesting.

What kind of tools do you expect to work on a bbcode AST?
