..should work, but doesn’t.

Ok, how bbPress does it is that it takes every < and > and replaces them with the &lt; and &gt; characters.

Then, it goes through the above list (the exceptions) and turns the lt’s and the gt’s back to actual <‘s and >’s. I can’t get it to recognize the img tag though, because regular expressions confuse the hell out of me. If anybody can get it to recognize the img tags, you’d be making a lot of people happy. For now I am going to take a break…
