Well I’ve been working on porting MooBBCode to Ruby and Php, and it should be done soon enough. The Ruby version is 90% done and PHP should follow shortly after. Basically it’s just a matter of re-adapting all the regular expressions to the PCRE engine, and since most of the Regex for BBCode are simple (and Ruby’s regex class is closer to PCRE than to Javascript regexp), it should be pretty done pretty quickly. Having the dot match all (the m flag in ruby) option alone is making it easier… Anyway!
One this is done, SilverBBCode + MooBBCode + NAWTE will provide a nice BBCode platform for anyone who has a new php or ruby project and wants to implement BBCOde in it without having to re-invent the wheel. This will also provide, with the help of NAWTE+MooBBCode, a nice Post Editor (or text editor or whatever) with WYSIWYM features, and text previewing without having to perform a server request…
Now I’m leaving for Thailand, Laos and Cambodia in 4 days so…this might not get done before I leave (although the ruby version might be completed) but, worst case scenario, it’s going to be ready soon after I come back (which is..well pretty much a month later)…
Anyway.. stay tuned!
