lookbehind assertion require fixed length string as its parameter.
but you intend to put arbitary length string between `<!--' and `[!'
so the solution can be
1, remove html comments first before do bbcode expansion.
2, change bbcode tags to something like `[!-- .* --!]', that is define
a new tag of bbcode comments, which is independent to html comments.
