bbcode
frustra/bbcode is a fast BBCode compiler for Go. It supports custom tags, safe html output (for user-specified input), and allows for graceful parsing of syntax errors similar to the output of a regex bbcode compiler.

Usage
To get started compiling some text, create a compiler instance:
compiler := bbcode.NewCompiler(true, true) // autoCloseTags, ignoreUnmatchedClosingTags
fmt.Println(compiler.Compile("[b]Hello World[/b]"))
// Output:
// <b>Hello World</b>
Supported BBCode Syntax
[tag]basic tag[/tag]
[tag1][tag2]nested tags[/tag2][/tag1]
[tag=value]tag with value[/tag]
[tag arg=value]tag with named argument[/tag]
[tag="quote value"]tag with quoted value[/tag]
[tag=value foo="hello world" bar=baz]multiple tag arguments[/tag]
Default Tags
[b]text[/b]
--><b>text</b>
(b, i, u, and s all map the same)[url]link[/url]
--><a href="link">link</a>
[url=link]text[/url]
--><a href="link">text</a>
[img]link[/img]
--><img src="link">
[img=link]alt[/img]
--><img alt="alt" title="alt" src="link">
[center]text[/center]
--><div style="text-align: center;">text</div>
[color=red]text[/color]
--><span style="color: red;">text</span>
[size=2]text[/size]
--><span class="size2">text</span>
[quote]text[/quote]
--><blockquote><cite>Quote</cite>text</blockquote>
[quote=Somebody]text[/quote]
--><blockquote><cite>Somebody said:</cite>text</blockquote>
[quote name=Somebody]text[/quote]
--><blockquote><cite>Somebody said:</cite>text</blockquote>
[code][b]anything[/b][/code]
--><pre>[b]anything[/b]</pre>
Lists are not currently implemented as a default tag, but can be added as a custom tag.
A working implementation of list tags can be found here
Adding Custom Tags
Custom tag handlers can be added to a compiler using the compiler.SetTag(tag, handler)
function:
compiler.SetTag("center", func(node *bbcode.BBCodeNode) (*bbcode.HTMLTag, bool) {
// Create a new div element to output
out := bbcode.NewHTMLTag("")
out.Name = "div"
// Set the style attribute of our output div
out.Attrs["style"] = "text-align: center;"
// Returning true here means continue to parse child nodes.
// This should be false if children are parsed by this tag's handler, like in the [code] tag.
return out, true
})
Tag values can be read from the opening tag like this:
Main tag value [tag={value}]
: node.GetOpeningTag().Value
Tag arguments [tag name={value}]
: node.GetOpeningTag().Args["name"]
bbcode.NewHTMLTag(text)
creates a text node by default. By setting tag.Name
, the node because an html tag prefixed by the text. The closing html tag is not rendered unless child elements exist. The closing tag can be forced by adding a blank text node:
out := bbcode.NewHTMLTag("")
out.Name = "div"
out.AppendChild(nil) // equivalent to out.AppendChild(bbcode.NewHTMLTag(""))
For more examples of tag definitions, look at the default tag implementations in compiler.go
Overriding Default Tags
The built-in tags can be overridden simply by redefining the tag with compiler.SetTag(tag, handler)
To remove a tag, set the tag handler to nil:
compiler.SetTag("quote", nil)
The default tags can also be modified without completely redefining the tag by calling the default handler:
compiler.SetTag("url", func(node *bbcode.BBCodeNode) (*bbcode.HTMLTag, bool) {
out, appendExpr := bbcode.DefaultTagCompilers["url"](node)
out.Attrs["class"] = "bbcode-link"
return out, appendExpr
})
Auto-Close Tags
Input:
[center][b]text[/center]
Enabled Output:
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>text</b></div>
Disabled Output:
<div style="text-align: center;">[b]text</div>
Ignore Unmatched Closing Tags
Input:
[center]text[/b][/center]
Enabled Output:
<div style="text-align: center;">text</div>
Disabled Output:
<div style="text-align: center;">text[/b]</div>
