  This is perfection, and seemingly braindead to extend. Thank you.

  I use this library within my websites and I have one feature request:
  Making a "br" tag from single newline symbol and paragraph from two (or more) symbols.
  
  What do you think of it? I'd even like to join the project for making few features :)

  Are you planning to add support for smilies that are present in phpbb databases?
  
  An example:
  
  <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

  The code is getting mangled. The definition of _re_blank_tags looks wrong; There's a backslash escaping the closing double quote. And how can it be a blank tag if it has \w+ in it?

  Thanks, I am adapting this library to use it on a new website I'm working on at www.cafesurvey.com. I use TinyMCE so people who don't know HTML can edit fields but this will be useful for fields which are too small for the full-up TinyMCE editor.

  @ Anatoliy

  But this is, hopefully, what you're looking for. His library is extensive enough that it provide the features necessary to do most anything.

  add_tag(LineBreakTag, 'br')
  
  
  class LineBreakTag(TagBase): # Ahlywog Contribution
      
      """A tag used to include line breaks in BB code. """
  
      def __init__(self, name):
          TagBase.__init__(self, name, inline=True)
          
      def render_open(self, parser, node_index):
          return u"<br />"
  

  Here is another I added for my own use; It allows you to call a function from within the open tag and pass it whatever is in the contents between the tag.

  So info => MyFunction(info)

  add_tag(FunctionReturnTag, 'fr')
  
  class FunctionReturnTag(TagBase): # Ahlywog Contribution
  
      """This tag allows you to specify a function in the params then the info to be passed to that function between the tags. """
      """All information sent to the function will be in the form of a tuple. """
  
      def __init__(self, name):
          TagBase.__init__(self, name, inline=True)
  
      def render_open(self, parser, node_index):
          output = u""
          if self.params:
              if self.get_contents(parser):
                  self.skip_contents(parser)
                  if self.params.strip() in dir(sys.modules['__main__']):
                      function = getattr(sys.modules['__main__'], self.params.strip())
                      args = self.get_contents(parser).strip().split(',')
                      output = function(args)
          return output
  

  It's a little dirty but it works for now.
