What is BBCode to HTML?

BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) is a lightweight markup language used by internet forum software to allow users to apply formatting to their posts. It uses square-bracket tags like [b] for bold, [i] for italic, [url=...] for links, and [quote] for block quotes — similar to HTML but safer because the software controls which tags are rendered. When migrating forum content to a website, wiki, or CMS, BBCode must be converted to HTML. This tool handles the most common BBCode tags including text formatting, links, images, lists, code blocks, and quoted posts.
