BBCodeMonkey

Constructor

Create a BBCode and its underlying tag and template(s) based on its reference usage

Create a BBCode based on its reference usage

Parse a string of attribute definitions and add the attributes/options to the tag/BBCode

Attributes come in two forms. Most commonly, in the form of a single token, e.g. [a href={URL} title={TEXT}]

Sometimes, however, we need to parse more than one single token. For instance, the phpBB [FLASH] BBCode uses two tokens separated by a comma: [flash={NUMBER},{NUMBER}]{URL}[/flash]

In addition, some custom BBCodes circulating for phpBB use a combination of token and static text such as: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube]

Any attribute that is not a single token is implemented as an attribute preprocessor, with each token generating a matching attribute. Tentatively, those of those attributes are created by taking the attribute preprocessor's name and appending a unique number counting the number of created attributes. In the [FLASH] example above, an attribute preprocessor named "flash" would be created as well as two attributes named "flash0" and "flash1" respectively.
