Re: BBCodeParser massive update (/me cries)

So, I just spent a few days working on BBCodeParser, in part to make it more bullet proof for my own website. I'm almost done. - It can clean up some fairly painful BBCode. - It produces XHTML 1.1 - It is backwards compatible with older BBCode (although two things aren't supported in XHTML 1.1 without javascript; I'm ignoring those attributes) - It fixes most of the bugs listed on the package home page.

Great!

Then, on a whim, I checked the pear-dev list. I read that you are scrapping it. You guys should really mention things like this on the package's home page. Should I continue to work on BBCodeParser or will it be obsoleted anyway? Also, is the wiki parser stack based?

I think it would still be a good idea to fix the issues. We do not throw code away, but what we planned was to mark the package deprecated. We are also working on ways to infact show this on the website. So hopefully in the future such confusion will not happen anymore for this and any other package in a similar situation. regards, Lukas
