Hello, I'm in the process of converting a phpbb forum to a drupal-based forum.
My question is on the BBCode module (along with other input-formatting modules). Does it apply after a node is already made, or does it only apply as the node is stored in the database?
For rationale, I have several non-standard bbcode tags, and I want to know if I need to edit the bbcode module to include those tags before the conversion, or if I can do it on-the-fly after the conversion?
Thanks in advance!

Input Filters are processed
Input Filters are processed when the page is rendered, not when the content is stored. Thus you can change the way meta tags are processed without messing up existing nodes.
