custom bbcode / how to stop conversion to htmlentities
 

[test]some <b>custom</b> text i want to parse[/test]

by the time this hits my handle_bbcode_test() function, the HTML characters are converted. i.e. < is converted to &lt;

i do not want it to do that. i need to preserve the HTML characters in their original form so i can do my own formatting.

i want it to work similar to the code tags except i notice that even in the code tags the HTML is converted by the time it reaches the handler.

here's my [test] declaration
any insight would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

bump ... anyone?
