Re: HTML_BBCodeParser Wish List

Hi Just first off ... small comment: <strong> and <em> aren't going to be deprecated anytime soon ;) Atleast they wont be deprecated in XHTML 1.1. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_phrase_elements.asp But anything else I agree with :) Specially because I was thinking about replacing this with my self made BBcode thingie for my forum :) Also I want to remind people about the dissucion about highlighting for PHP, html, css and more and maybe integrated that into HTML_BBCodeParser. That's a great idea that should be followed up and should be done! :D not only talked about, like many things here tend to do :) Keep up the good work! "Hi Stijn, I'm just getting into a project where I hope to make use of your BBCode parser package. I was digging around the source files and experimenting a bit when I came up with the following BBCodeParser wish list. * Id like to see standards compliant mark-up used instead of deprecated HTML for <u>, and <s> or <strike> These two are marked deprecated under HTML 4.01. Other style-specific tags are likely to follow in their footsteps, such as <strong>, <em>, etc. since these effects can be replicated with CSS (I didn't do much digging on the w3c website to find out if all of these are in fact deprecated - just those I mentioned). If possible I'd just like to see an option to use generic <span> containers w/ CSS instead of the various HTML tags. * A Method to strip all BBCode instead of replace it (like PHP function strip_tags). Perhaps a clone of strip_tags() but for BBCode. (I don't know if this capability already exists or not with the package?!?) * Docs??? I can't seem to find any (except what's in the package of course)! If I'm simply blind and the package already contains the above capability, then ignore this (or point me in the right direction) :) Thanks for contributing such a great package!
