Strikethrough text and quotes by Mike on 12-13-2008 at 09:43 AM
Text after this quote won't be strikethroughed:
quote:
test
Text after this quote will be strikethroughed:
quote:
test2
This should be strikethroughed.
In reality, all text should have been strikethrouged.
Firefox bug maybe?

Everything is has a strikethrough except for the very last 2 lines here i.e. working fine here (Opera).
EDIT: Just tried it on firefox and the 2 quotes + the line in between the 2 quotes do not have strikethroughs.

Blame the dodgy post parser. Again.

Why should the parser be expected to fix mistakes like that? It's possible to produce invalid HTML with just about any BBCode parser that doesn't use a state machine or some other complicated and slow solution like that.

You can easily fix the problem by fixing your BBcode.
blah 1
quote:test
quote:test2
(The styling of quote: is technically not supported =p)

? With string replacing, you're already looping through the string several times, why would doing it once but slightly different be any slower?Actually, with algorithms like Aho-Corasick, you could probably suffice with looping through it just once and doing all the BBCode replaces properly with a stack and all.
The fact that implementing a state machine in PHP is slower than using the built-in regexp or string replacing functions doesn't mean it's slower by definition
In theory (and probably also in practice, if you'd write a PHP module for it) a state machine would probably be one of the fastest and most elegant way to implement BBCode parsing
(Sorry mate, just couldn't resist
)

There is a BBCode parsing extension available, but I can't find a single application that uses it, and who wants to compile and install an extension and add another dependency to their software just to parse some BBCode? =p
