    copied!<p>I have a phpBB2 forum with posts stored in BBCode. The forum posts are stored like this in the database:</p> <pre><code>[quote:e5adceb8e8][quote:e5adceb8e8="Person 2"][quote:e5adceb8e8="Person 3"]Nested quote[/quote:e5adceb8e8]Another nested quote[/quote:e5adceb8e8]Some text[/quote:e5adceb8e8] [b:e5adceb8e8]Some bold text[/b:e5adceb8e8] [i:e5adceb8e8]italic text[/i:e5adceb8e8] [u:e5adceb8e8]underlined text[/u:e5adceb8e8] [code:1:e5adceb8e8]print &amp;#40;&amp;quot;hello world!&amp;quot;&amp;#41;;[/code:1:e5adceb8e8] [img:e5adceb8e8]http://www.google.co.nz/intl/en_com/images/logo_plain.png[/img:e5adceb8e8] [url]http://google.com[/url] [url=http://google.com]Google[/url] [color=darkred:e5adceb8e8] Coloured text[/color:e5adceb8e8] [size=18:e5adceb8e8] Big text[/size:e5adceb8e8] [list:e5adceb8e8] List Item 1 List Item 2 [/list:u:e5adceb8e8] [list:e5adceb8e8] [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 1 [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 2 [/list:u:e5adceb8e8] [list=1:e5adceb8e8] [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 1 [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 2 [/list:o:e5adceb8e8] [list=a:e5adceb8e8] [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 1 [*:e5adceb8e8]List Item 2 [/list:o:e5adceb8e8] </code></pre> <p>I'm after any tools that could help me convert this syntax to Markdown. Ideally I'd only want to convert the <code>[b]</code>, <code>[i]</code>, <code>[quote]</code>, <code>[url]</code>, <code>[code]</code>, and <code>[list]</code> tags. It would be preferable to convert the <code>[img]</code> tags to links in Markdown to avoid page resizing problems. Any purely presentational elements such as the <code>[color]</code> and <code>[size]</code> tags would converted to plain text.</p>
