Looking into [source code](https://github.com/nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md/blob/master/lib/ruby-bbcode-to-md.rb#L64-L65) 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:
