This has been working great so far on the sites I've implemented on so cheers for the help there, guys

I'm revisiting how I handle bullets though, in order to try and get rid of a minor niggle that's been annoying me and that's the need to have an empty line at between the end of a list and any subsequent text, if the list isn't at the end of the string.

To recap, the RegEx I'm using for the list is:

(\[(bullet)\][\s\S]+?\[/\2\])(\s{3,}|\n{2,}|$)
<ul>$1</ul>

And for the individual list items it's:

\[(bullet)\](.+?)\[/\1\]
<li>$2</li>

Like I said, it's only a minor thing and nothing I'm going to lose too much sleep over but, if there's some way of getting rid of that extra line break, it'll bring a wee smile to my tired face
