I found an offline BBCode editor that is being distributed for free at this forum board. It is called AHK BBCodeWriter. It is a very small application (377 kb) and downloads easily. Below is a screenshot of the application.

It has a lot of features that really allow one the possibility of writing posts in BBCode offline. It even has a preview feature.

While the program automatically sets up IE as its default preview browser, the author suggests something faster for Windows users: the MSHTA.exe. I found it at C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe

The author also mentions that he made the program for PHPBB users. I created this post originally in AHK BBCodeWriter and pasted it onto our SMF forum and it worked well. My only frustration is that the HTML to BBCode Converter here works only one way. That however is a minor setback since there is a BBCode to HTML converter online tool
