What BBCode tags does the converter support?

The converter supports [b], [i], [u], [s], [url], [img], [code], [quote], [list], [h1]-[h3], and their closing tags. Styling tags like [color], [size], and [font] are stripped while preserving content.

How are nested quotes handled?

Quoted text is converted to markdown blockquotes using the > prefix. Author attribution in [quote="author"] tags is preserved as bold text within the blockquote.

Can I convert entire forum threads?

Yes, you can paste multiple BBCode posts and convert them all at once. Each post's formatting will be converted to the corresponding markdown syntax.

Is my content private during conversion?

Yes, all BBCode parsing and markdown generation happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
