We shifted from bbcode to tinymce in version 15.04 but we left the old
bbcode functions around due to upgrade path so we could covert the saved
content.

But in 17.10 we dropped a lot of the old upgrade path and forced one to
upgrade to 17.04 first before continuing upgrade.

So now we can drop the need for this bbcode stuff once and for all

Title:
  Upgrade or replace 3rd party plugin stringparser_bbcode for php7.2

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1752743

  htdocs/lib/stringparser_bbcode/lib.php uses the deprecated function
  create_function(). This is easily enough fixed, but this plugin was
  last updated in 2008, so there may be a better one out there now.

  We need to decide whether to update the existing plugin ourselves or
  whether we should do this a different way. Some related reading:
