BBCode Contest

Use the most clever BBCode formatting you can think of to render this line of text:

I conjure the spirits of my computer with BBCode!

Example entry:

I _conjure the spirits of my ^computer with BBCode!

I'm sure you can do much better because I don't even have fancy macros/scripts to do it for me.  Bonus points for including the source-code with your entry.  Most creative entry wins!

learn BBcode the old fashioned way.

One thing that I never learned how to do correctly in BBCode is: How to correctly escape parts of code that contain literal BBCode?

Thanks

Here's what I did instead:

(defun write-tag (tag s)
  (format nil "[~a]~a[/~a]" tag s tag))

(defun fancy-format (s)
  (write-tag "m"
    (with-output-to-string (o)
      (loop for c across s
         do (princ (case c
                     ((#[b]([/b] #[b])[/b]) (write-tag "b" c))
                     (t c))
             o)))))

Damn, seems #\( #\) somehow broke it.

A.HTML. /prog/ reaction: "Hahaha noob. How come you're so dumb?"
B.Small subset of HTML. /prog/ reaction: "OMG you're an expert programmer!!!"

«The great moral question of the twenty-first century is this: if all knowing, all culture, all art, all useful information can be costlessly given to everyone at the same price that it is given to anyone; if everyone can have everything, anywhere, all the time, why is it ever moral to exclude anyone? »

Fixed, maybe I'll add escaping a bit later:

(defun write-tag (tag s)
  (format nil "[~a]~a[/~a]" tag s tag))

(defun fancy-format (s)
  (write-tag "m"
    (with-output-to-string (o)
      (loop for c across s
         do (princ (case c
                     ((#\( #\)) (write-tag "b" c))
                     (t c))
             o)))))

you're just jealous because you don't know how to BBcode.

That's pretty impressive.  Definitely a candidate for winner.

I like this one too, even if it's not as elaborate as a couple others.

Looks the same in Firefox.

BBCode is the best language ever. There is nothing BBCode cannot do.
X is the best language ever. There is nothing X cannot do.

That is called 'being touring complete' and it's rather absurd to call a touring complete language the best simply because it is touring complete.

>>42
You're a fucking idiot.  BB Code can do way more than your shitty toy language could even begin to do.

>>43
That's right, BBCode is beyond Turing-completeness; you could simulate a whole universe using it.

>>44
It's true, I solved the halting problem in BBCode.

>>45
BBCode can do anything any other language can because you just put that stuff behind the BBCode.  I have my own personal library of STDCBB which is a BBCode front-end for the standard C library.

>>46
#include bbcode.h;
yeah?

>>47
YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!

bbcode.txt | bb2c > "bb.c"

bb2c is a program I wrote that converts BB code to C and currently supports C99 and the standard library.  So you can write:


[printf][str]Hello world!\n[/str][/printf]

>>48

[function]main
        [return]int[/return]
    [arguments][arg]int argc[/arg][arg][pointer]char[/pointer][array]argc[/array][/arg]
    [definition]
        [int][set]a[get]5[/get][/set], [set]b[get]7[/get][/set], c[/int]
   
        [printf][str]Hello World!\n[/str][/printf]
        [set]c[+]a[get]b[/get][/+][/set]

        [set]c[post++]c[/post++][/set]

        [return]c[/return]
    [/definition]
[/function]

VALID BBC CODE!
