Overview

    BBCode is a markup language designed for the embedding of presentation
    elements into plain text on bulletin boards systems.

    One major issue with base BBCode is the impossibility of efficiently
    combining multiple presentation tags. For instance, in the very common
    situation where the user wants to use bold and underlined and italic
    and overlined presentation for text, ey needs to use four tags,
    generating an important braces overhead.

    This extension tries to solve this problem by allowing combination of
    multiple presentation tags into one.

Issues

    How can the user detect the presence of this extension?

       RESOLUTION: BBS vendors should give access to a file named
       `extensions.txt' via HTTP in the same virtual directory as the
       textboard. This file contains a space-separated list of supported
       extensions names. Further extensions to BBS should use the same
       method. The absence of this file should be interpreted with the
       meaning that the BBS implementation doesn't support any extensions.

       The user emself should not directly access the file, but instead a
       browser-specific interface. This allows the browser to simulate
       functionality and transparently present it to the user.

Additions to BBCode

    One-letter long tags can be combined to form compound tags by
    concatenating them and removing inner braces. For instance, to present
    the text ``HAX MY ANUS!!'' as bold, overlined, italic, and underlined,
    the user might use ``[buio]HAX MY ANUS!![/buio]''. The result of using
    the same primitive tag multiple times in a compound is implementation-
    dependent.
