Frequently Asked Questions

What is BBCode?
BBCode is a lightweight markup used on many forums: [b]bold[/b], [i]italic[/i], [url=...]link[/url], [img]...[/img], etc. This tool removes all such tags and leaves only the text content.
Are nested tags handled?
Yes. Tags are stripped recursively so [b][i]text[/i][/b] becomes just 'text'. Attribute values in [tag=value] are not included in the output.
What about malformed tags?
Unclosed or invalid tags are stripped as much as possible; any remaining [ or ] that are not part of a valid tag may appear in the output.
