The inline parser is primarily for things like thoughts where colours aren't really needed. At least, that was the logic - keeping it lean.

I worked from a set of very limited elements (b, u, i...) and added tags as I felt I needed them, making sure they were inline type.
I probably should have been more thorough, I think that even though I dislike that tag, it should be in the inline parser anyway...
Could you possibly make a list of tags you feel should be in there..?

If you'll look at the code, parse_bbc_inline DOES process colors, but only if you tell it to use the full set of inline tags.

I think the reason was mostly that I dislike this tag personally, so I couldn't see myself moving it to the shortlist :lol:
And although it can't break designs, it can break good sense. So I'd tend to say, "if you want color tags, make sure to ask for the full set when dealing with parse_bbc_inline."

The inline parser isn't called much IIRC... every hit seems related to thoughts.

I'd argue we don't need colour there anyway.
