complex custom bbcodes can be made by editing class_bbbcode.php (it can probably be done with hooks/plugins, but not being a fan of that system means I cannot tell you which ones)

You need to write a handle_bbcode_custom_tag method, and also add the appropriate information to fetch_tag_list()

If you want a tag that acts outside of the stack parser, you will have to write your own function which regex searches for your tag.

This is how we have implemented a dice roller and tags which call data from a database table and dislpay it in the post.
