Code your own parser using RegExp. Make it take the inputted string, and change the UBBC items to HTML items!

Regular Expressions is the best method I know, and it works quite well on my shoutbox. Peter (former PBsupport mod) claims there is a more 1337 method, but he never got back to me on what that was How much do you know about regular expressions?

That's not a bad idea! Would that be easier than preg_replace?

Well I know one alternative method is to split the string into sections and walk through each section rebuilding the formatted text as you go. That's how I wrote both the table parser and the quote parser here. But that still uses some regular expressions and I don't see how it'd make parsing simplier tags such as bold or italic any better.
