How To Stop Link Parsing In BBcode?

[Brew]

I am trying to create a BBcode to force an image to the left of text by creating a new BBcode called [IMGL]. (I'm updating an old mod from borgs8472 with his approval).

The problem I am having is that the editor automatically parses the text and inserts it's own [url] tags.

As an example. In the Replacement input box for creating a new BBcode :

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 8px;"> {param} </div>

The above code comes out as:

[IMGL][url]http://url to image[/url][/IMGL]

I need it so when {param} = 'url to image' the actual image is displayed instead of a link to the image, which is [IMG] instead of [url] tags.

The only way I know to do this is to turn off auto parsing for links. But I don't see that as an option for me to do.

What can I do to make the software do what I need without turning off parsing?

Here...try this at home....

Create New BBcode:

Title .... Float Left
BB Code Tag Name.....imgl
Replacement.......<div style="float: left; padding-right: 8px;">[IMG]{param}[/IMG]</div>
Example...... [imgl]url to image[/imgl]
Description.... Float an image to the left, wrap text around it!
Button Image (Optional) .... Any 21 x 20 image for testing this.

Then use the new bbcode with a url to an image and type a few paragraphs of text.

The text will float to the right but it's a link, instead of an image.

I've tried all the tricks I know and I am hoping someone out there will give me a few pointers on what the system is doing and how to work around it.


Thanks for any and all help

Digging around I found what should be a cool BBcode. It's supposed to stop the forum from parsing between the code....I think.

But...I haven't figured out how to use it, let alone whether it actually works.

Any ideas?
