I’m doing some work on the xenforo importer and have modified it so that it converts the BBcode [quote] tags into Discourse [quote="username,post: , topic: ] tags, but ruby-bbcode-to-md breaks it since it doesn’t know how awesome those [quote]s are. My solution has mostly been to just not use @neil’s ruby-bbcode-to-md (GitHub - nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md: Convert BBCode to Markdown. · GitHub) and just piecemeal replace tags in the importer. This seems sucky (but I think it’s good enough) Should I fork the library and try to get it to ignore those quotes? Should there be a way to get the library to know to ignore those? (Seems like a regex nightmare to me).

I ran into same issue when doing a vBulletin bulk import. [image] pfaffman: Should there be a way to get the library to know to ignore those? Looking into source code there is a way to blacklist selected tags. Here is what you are looking for if you want to blacklist/ignore [quote] tags: xyz.bbcode_to_md(false, {}, :disable, :quote) I applied the above fix to import script base libraries as per: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/71a5369fef33f2d8d3b1d5420a5a6e775c439b0d

I haven’t looked at that library in a very long time… Fork and hack away.
