This program will convert BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) to HTML. It’s useful if you work on forums which support either BBCode or HTML and need to convert your “canned speeches” or if you have written something in bbcode that you would like to put on your website. You could also use it to preview your posts on boards that don’t have that feature built in.

For me, its use to convert my bloggable forum postings into articles for this weblog.

I saw a styleswitching javascript code in a webmaster’s forum and started playing with it.  I’ve seen a similar script but it was based on CGI.  In this version, only javascript is used and therefore can be used for straight static HTML pages.  See it in action here. I have also posted the code used. I found it non-functional but modified it based on the discussions about it. For simple webpages, it is great. The one who made it must be a javascript genius.
