             THE BBCODE DECOMPILATION PROBLEM

                         ABSTRACT

       Since allowing message board users to post raw HTML
  in their messages represented too much of a risk, BBCode
  was designed as a way of limiting the objects that could
  be  posted.  Browsers do not understand  BBCode directly,
  so BBCode  is often  translated to  HTML server-side. On
  some boards[1] it is impossible to retrieve the original
  BBCode; it is precisely this limitation that has sparked
  scientific  interest  in the  field  of  Beebeecodology.
  Previous works published by Sussman et al.[2][3][7] have
  demonstrated that  BBCode to HTML  conversion is not  an
  injective  function.  As  a  result  of our  independent
  research,  we  have  mathematically proved  that  BBCode
  decompilation is equivalent to N-SAT,  and as such it is
  NP-complete.
