Frequently Asked Questions

What BBCode tags are supported?

Our converter supports all standard BBCode tags including [b], [i], [u], [s], [url], [img], [quote], [code], [list], [color], [size], [center], [table], headings, and more. Unknown tags are cleanly stripped from the output.

Does it handle [list] tags properly?

Yes! [list] converts to <ul>, [list=1] to <ol>, and [*] items become properly wrapped <li> elements. Nested lists are also supported.

Can I convert HTML back to BBCode?

This tool focuses on BBCode to HTML conversion. For the reverse operation, you would need an HTML to BBCode converter.

Is the HTML output semantic and accessible?

Yes, our converter generates clean, semantic HTML that follows modern web standards. For example, [b] converts to <strong> rather than <b>, and [i] converts to <em> for proper accessibility.
