How do I Add {option} to built-in [code]

Yeah, sorry - obviously I didn't actually try it. Anyway, more changes needed in includes/class_bbcode_alt.php. Around line 99, after the "make the "pre" tags use the correct handler" for loop (ETA ...add this under the existing foreach loop):

                if (isset($this->tag_list['option']['code']))
                {
                        $this->tag_list['option']['code']['callback'] = 'handle_preformatted_tag';
                        unset($this->tag_list['option']['code']['html'], $this->tag_list['option']['code']['strip_space_after']);
                }

then in handle_preformatted_tag() around line 357, replace the return statement with:

		return '[' . $tag_name .
			($this->current_tag['option'] !== false ?
				('=' . $this->current_tag['delimiter'] . $this->current_tag['option'] . $this->current_tag['delimiter']) :
				''
			) . ']' . $this->emulate_pre_tag($code) . "[/$tag_name]";

(which I stole from another function).

There's also another class in that file, vB_BbCodeParser_PlainText, which probably needs to be changed for when the post is represented as plain text.

I don't know, but the handling of some of those codes is a lot more complicated than just a replacement, so it would be difficult.
