BBC breaks when put inside a code BBC element in post.

This is the code supplied on the original bug report.

So if you put table tags inside code it breaks? The main issue I see there is you have a couple of stray [/center] tags...

[Arantor]

The code part, I assume was for replication purposes. There are so many issues driven by SMF's trying to be helpful in the preparser where it tries to fix bad tags especially table tags.

[Xarcell]

Could the BBC code itself be the problem? Why are there closing center tags within the table tags, rather than inside the table-cell's. Are you doing this during live preview I assume? Need more specific's on how you created this issue.

This is a bug report from the main bug reports board. But I'm well aware of some of these issues as some of them go back years. The preparser tries to do certain validations and enforcements, for example forcing a td to be inside a tr to be inside a table, and vice versa that a table contains a tr contains a td. Amongst other things it prevents introducing th tags for nicer tables, but there are so many issues that relate to this hierarchy it's unreal.
