Crate bbcode

A parsing library for bbcode

Unlike most bbcode "parser"s, this constructs a syntax tree that is easy to transform to a custom representation or analyze for other purposes. Its goal is primarily customizability of the output.

Getting the syntax tree for textual bbcode is as easy as calling parse:

use bbcode::{parse, Segment, quote::Quote};

static MESSAGE: &'static str =
r#"[quote="Batman"]I'm batman[/quote]
Isn't he [b]dreamy[/b]?"#;

let ast = parse(MESSAGE);
assert_eq!(ast, vec![
    Segment::Quote(Quote {
        attribution: Some("Batman"),
        body: vec![Segment::Text("I'm batman")],
    }),
    Segment::Text("\nIsn't he "),
    Segment::Bold(vec![Segment::Text("dreamy")]),
    Segment::Text("?"),
]);
