    <a> is HTML tag

    [url] is BBCode tag.

    They are used in different contexts.

    <a> is an HTML tag, whereas [url] is a BBCode tag.

    HTML is a core web technology, which can be rendered by any web browser; BBCode is much more limited in scope, being used by some sites to allow a limited, safe subset of HTML functionality, without allowing users to do things they shouldn’t be able to (such as running scripts or messing with the site styles).
