How do I limit the types of HTML that a user can input into a textbox? I’m running a small forum using some custom software that I’m beta testing, but I need to know how to limit the HTML input. Any suggestions?

i’d suggest a slightly alternative approach:
keeping user data clean allows you more flexibility in how it’s displayed. filtering all outgoing data is a good habit to get into (along the never trust data meme).
