Allows you to paste HTML as BB Code and paste BB Code as HTML with the appropriate options in the context and edit menus. Attempts to work well across browsers and in most popular word processing programs.

Very much an alpha version. Yup. It probably won't crash you, but there are still definitely some portability problems from, for example, MS Word (which does something unspeakable to HTML). It also definitely doesn't transfer across all properties because it's too hard to iterate through an HTML tree as it is.

(Technical Note) There's a bug on file for making the DOM Parser work with normal HTML, but I'm not experienced enough with the Mozilla codebase to fix it. Future versions may have some sort of terrible hack with innerHTML, or even (hopefully not) with a hidden window.

I had to look around a bit to figure out a little better what this does. Sorry but the description isn't very descriptive.

I thought it was just another BBcode extension at first, and I wondered, why, because nothing beats BBCode 0.4.1.2 for having right click context menus of BB and HTML code to enter easily anywhere you want..

What it does is allow you to copy a passage of HTML formated text and paste it into a forum, and it will auto convert the HTML tags to BB code tags, and vice versa, appropriately so the formating remains the same.

Yea BBCodeXtra is basically the same thing as this (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=128) BBcode extension. I just like BBcode more because it allows me to enter up to 10 custom tags of anything I want too.
