A BBCode Viewer is a tool that allows you to view and render BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) as formatted text. BBCode is a lightweight markup language used in many forums, message boards, and content systems to apply basic formatting like bold, italic, links, quotes, and more. A BBCode Viewer interprets this code and displays the styled output as it would appear in a forum post.
