And why exactly should it have to support such functionality for it to be possible? When you download MyBB, all of the PHP files are there for you, and you can still interact with MyBB through plugins... And some plugins can still have unwanted adverse affects, even if you didn't intentionally do anything to the forum yourself to have such oddities exist.

You said you've done lots of web work. You're acting like you know all of what's possible when you clearly don't, I don't have to explain my own statements when they can be inferred by others about what you're saying can be done and what can't. Anybody who actually knows web development anyways.

Example code to prove it's possible:

Code:

<?php $text = 'This-is-a-test...'; $text = preg_replace('/-/', '<span style="color:#F00">-</span>', $text); echo $text, PHP_EOL; ?>

You obviously can't read. I already knew it was possible. Please quote where I've said I have done "lots of web development." Why do you keep stating things I already know that just aren't the case?
