Is BBCode Turing-Complete?

Name: Anonymous 2012-12-11 9:20

I'd like to implement a small random-number generator in BBCode, but I'd like to know if this is even possible before starting. Is BBCode Turing-Complete, and if not, are there any text markup languages that are Turing-Complete?

I highly doubt it, unless some places have funky tags.

Originally it was, but nowadays it is intentionally crippled in most places which allow it to limit your freedom of expression.

Turing-complete BBCode is forbidden in most jurisdictions.  Possession of Turing-complete BBCode is a felony.
I have heard that some private invite-only underground text boards implement Turing-complete BBCode, but have been unable to verify these rumors.

HTML/CSS is.

Also why do we keep getting this question? Work it out yourself.

Watch it, Goy. You don't want to be sticking your dick in the hornet's nest now. Just accept that you can't use BBCode and move on. Some knowledge simply shouldn't be known to the public, and you wouldn't want to have something bad to happen to you, right?

Turing-complete BBCode ``considered harmful'' because it can put the server into an infinite loop.

What about client-side BBCode?

Proxy Objects are going to an amazing new addition to the next version of ECMAScript. You will be able to allow a proxy to intercede any method or internal within the ECMA specification, allowing you to wrap everything in the JavaScript object domain. This is super powerful for logging, debugging, operation inversion, and if you can wrap the entire DOM and record timestamps, this might be the magic bullet that will allow you record and replay DOM interactions. We are bringing metaprogramming or Meta Object Programming to JavaScript and this will be your first peek at this awesome technology.

Proxy Tags are going to an amazing new addition to the next version of BBCode. You will be able to allow a proxy to intercede any method or internal within the BBCode specification, allowing you to wrap everything in the World4Ch domain. This is super powerful for /prog/riding, AA, [b][o][u][i], and if you can wrap the entire post and thread timestamps, this might be the magic bullet that will allow you record and replay shitpost interactions.

That's irrelevant because BBCode is so fast that it can finish an infinite loop in only a few minutes on modern hardware. What's the problem, other than >>7-jew suppressing it because of it's capabilities?

This is a bad thread, and you should feel bad for posting it. /prog/'s languages are SCHEME and BBCODE, always have been.
