FAQ

What is BBCode?

BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) is a lightweight markup language used on forums to format messages, with bracketed tags like [b] or [url]. It offers a safer alternative to raw HTML.

How do I convert BBCode to HTML?

Paste your BBCode text into the tool: it translates each tag into its HTML equivalent, for example [b] into <strong> and [url] into <a>. You get ready-to-embed HTML code.

Which BBCode tags are supported?

Common tags are supported: bold, italic, underline, links, images, lists, quotes and code blocks. They cover the usual formatting of forum posts.
