+   This extension aims to help parse BBCode text in
+   order to convert it to HTML or another markup language. It uses
+   one pass parsing and provides great speed improvement over the common 
+   approach based on regular expressions. Further more, it helps provide
+   valid HTML by reordering open / close tags and by automatically closing
+   unclosed tags.
