Markdown to BBCode converter

Q: Why does my table not render?

[table] is not standard BBCode. If your forum lacks it, use a [code] block with aligned text instead.

Write forum posts in Markdown and convert them to BBCode tags for phpBB, XenForo, vBulletin or Steam.

BBCode support varies

Core tags ([b] [i] [url] [img] [quote] [code] [list]) work on practically every forum. Headings use [size], which phpBB measures in percent and some boards in points, and [table] and [hr] are extensions that only some boards enable. Preview your post before submitting.

Markdown converts to: Confluence, Jira, Slack, LaTeX, MediaWiki, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, plus HTML, PDF, Word and Excel.
