While I'm getting used to the site, I'd like a way to transform formatting that I'm familiar with (namely BBcode) into another format.

As litphoria will potentially draw users from all kinds of sites, most of which will use BBCode, it'll be important to have some way to show that markdown isn't that bad.
That bad? Markdown is awesome. I hate BBcode. Do you have any idea how awful it is to reach the keys for the brackets on a French Canadian keyboard? Yeah, awkward and clumsy. I just hate it. Markdown uses simple keys that are easy to reach, no funky symbols, no funky code you have to learn... and it does seem quite similar to some Word Processor's Autoformatting I had. (It basically used something similar to Markdown to automatically do some basic page formatting)... sorry, sorry, deviated from the subject. Good idea however.
Also, for people converting stories from sites to Litphoria, without actually including an Importing tool, having a way to easily transform a text from bbcode to Markdown, without having to run it through line by line, would be quite useful I believe.

Well, it's certainly different from what a lot of people are used to. It's mostly just to be here to 1) help you automatically transform large bodies of text (descriptions come to mind) and 2) help you see how simple the syntax is for markdown while you learn it.
Got something to say?
