Re: BBCodeParser [Was: Mail conversation parser?]

Speaking of BBCodeParser, there hasn't been any development on that for a while and I'm afraid it won't be up to the task. (Maybe an issue for PEAR-QA?) For instance, it doesn't support quoted attributes very well, if at all. IIRC it chokes on quoted attributes. I did my own hacked version of it a month or so ago to support different BBCode dialects and put in more reliance on CSS, but haven't yet figured out the quoting algorithm. I'm not fantastic with regexs anyway or I might take on an update of that as well. I did try contacting the lead on that package some time back, but he never responded.

I noticed that BBCodeParsers development is very low some time ago, what's indeed a pitty because we use the package on PEARWeb. The last release is about a half year ago and there are 10 open bugs. Stijn, are you still available for maintainance and further development? Maybe you wann invent a co-maintainer or let us search one? Another point is, that PAT has a nice looking BBCode class available, which maybe can be merged with our BBCode class (or even replace it?). http://blog.php-tools.de/archives/53_patBBCode_nearing_release.html Note that these are just some startup suggestions and should not sound offensive in any way. They are just some thoughts on optimizing development.
