    Replacing BBCodes with regular expressions or simple string replaces is a very bad idea, as it could end in not well-formed HTML/XHTML. In mind of the MVC pattern, this should also be part of a view helper, not of a component in the controller part.

    By the way, here you can see a very good implementation of BB-code parsing:

      I agree, its a nice one, but its in PHP4 and quite complex to use (it maybe might be easier ). But this shows me one thing: Its not such a good idea to try to replace BBCode with theire html-tags, as you also mentioned, instead of a "parsing process". So it seems to be more useful to implement BBCode as an own component instead of a filter (also mentioned by another proposal (1)), which cant reach the power of something like Seiler's implementation. A filter may access that component.

    I think this needs to be its own component with a view helper. The Zend_Markup approach seems more "correct" in this respect. Perhaps you could work with Pieter Kokx on a joint proposal.

    "Zend Official Response"
    This proposal is being moved to Archived in favor of a the work being done inside Zend_Markup. Ideally, we'd like to see a more common interface for translating from one markup language to another.
