 * Hi,
 * We host articles in WordPress, but they are written in vBulletin using BB codes.
   Normally I can copy and paste an article from vBulletin to WP without any problems,
   but if the author has used the BB codes [code][/code] or [php][/php] whereas 
   in vBulletin the content between the codes is shown in a scrollable table with
   the original formatting used by the author, when I copy these to WP the content
   is shown in plain text without formatting. Could you please explain how I can
   get over this?
    Many thanks.
 * Kind Regards,
    John Wafford.
