Convert in javascript,

Convert in c#,

Convert in PHP...

There are a lot of ways to convert BBCode. If you want to get rid of the BBCode, you'll have to use a regular expression removing all the [ ] blocks. Something like this'll do:

return preg_replace('|[[\/\!]*?[^\[\]]*?]|si','', $yourblockofbbcode);
