DP_ParseBBML

BBML ("Bulletin Board Markup Language") is a simplified form HTML which can allow your users to enter HTML formatting into forums, message boards, and content management systems without risking damage to the surrounding presentation. This tag validates and converts BBML code to HTML, converts HTML to "safe" presentation code, and converts many common "smiley" emoticons (such as ":^)") to graphics.
