Simple Java BBCode Implementation

I have made a simple Java BBCode Implementation, and it is open source and free to use. Feel free to take it into your project.

Below is the Java static method to convert the bbcode-based text into HTML form to be displayed in browser.

public static String bbcode(String text) {

String temp = nl2br(text);

Map<string , String> bbMap = new HashMap</string><string , String>();</string>

bbMap.put(“\\[b\\](.+?)\\[/b\\]”, “<strong>$1</strong>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[i\\](.+?)\\[/i\\]”, “<span style=’font-style:italic;’>$1</span>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[u\\](.+?)\\[/u\\]”, “<span style=’text-decoration:underline;’>$1</span>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h1\\](.+?)\\[/h1\\]”, “<h1>$1</h1>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h2\\](.+?)\\[/h2\\]”, “<h2>$1</h2>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h3\\](.+?)\\[/h3\\]”, “<h3>$1</h3>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h4\\](.+?)\\[/h4\\]”, “<h4>$1</h4>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h5\\](.+?)\\[/h5\\]”, “<h5>$1</h5>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[h6\\](.+?)\\[/h6\\]”, “<h6>$1</h6>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[quote\\](.+?)\\[/quote\\]”, “<blockquote>$1</blockquote>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[p\\](.+?)\\[/p\\]”, “<p>$1</p>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[p=(.+?),(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/p\\]”, “<p style=’text-indent:$1px;line-height:$2%;’>$3</p>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[center\\](.+?)\\[/center\\]”, “<div align=’center’>$1”);

bbMap.put(“\\[align=(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/align\\]”, “<div align=’$1′>$2”);

bbMap.put(“\\[color=(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/color\\]”, “<span style=’color:$1;’>$2</span>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[size=(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/size\\]”, “<span style=’font-size:$1;’>$2</span>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[img\\](.+?)\\[/img\\]”, “<img src=’$1′ />”);

bbMap.put(“\\[img=(.+?),(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/img\\]”, “<img width=’$1′ height=’$2′ src=’$3′ />”);

bbMap.put(“\\[email\\](.+?)\\[/email\\]”, “<a href=’mailto:$1′>$1</a>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[email=(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/email\\]”, “<a href=’mailto:$1′>$2</a>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[url\\](.+?)\\[/url\\]”, “<a href=’$1′>$1</a>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[url=(.+?)\\](.+?)\\[/url\\]”, “<a href=’$1′>$2</a>”);

bbMap.put(“\\[video\\](.+?)\\[/video\\]”, “<video src=’$1′ />”);

for (Map.Entry entry: bbMap.entrySet()) {

temp = temp.replaceAll(entry.getKey().toString(), entry.getValue().toString());

}

return temp;

}

Refer to stackoverflow, there is one topic that is related to Java BBCode I discovered just now.
