Suggestion: Button parse?

[#Not Important]

I have been coding in HTML 5 for a while now and thought:
How cool would it be if we had buttons on Pokecommunity?
And I thought about it a lot (mostly how I could use it) ...
So here it is:
Adding the button
You would just put the text you would like the button to have inside

[PLAIN][button]text[/button][/PLAIN]

Styling the button
It would be like

[PLAIN][button=(STYLE HERE)]text[/button][/PLAIN]

Thanks in advance

Besides the semantics of HTML5, why do you need a button? You can use something like [div="css"] to style something like a button if you like. It's not like you can add a click action anyways.

It would be cool if some posts that had links in them had a button instead of just a link...

You could do the click action for links like this:
[url=pokecommunity.com][Button]Go to pokecommunity![/button][/url]

While I as a web designer totally understand the reason behind semantic markup in HTML, BBCode isn't that. It's a lightweight simplified form for formatting posts, which is why it lacks many features that are taken for granted in HTML. Adding tags that have no purpose in a simple static language like BBCode solely to replicate the semantics of HTML isn't worth it.

If you want something that looks like a button, nothing's stopping you from either styling it yourself with [div] or using [class] with Bootstrap classes, e.g., [class="btn btn-primary"].
