Filter: Input formats for user content

The Filter core module allows you to configure formats for text input for your site. For example, you may want a filter to strip out malicious HTML from users' comments.

Despite the name "filter," the module not only lets you keep out text you don't want but also lets you enhance the text you let in. So, for example, you can use a filter to turn ordinary line breaks into HTML paragraph tags.

When users create or edit content, they can choose between the input formats you make available. You can configure which formats are available to which user roles, as well as choose a default input format. You can also create new input formats. And you can configure each input format to use your choice of filters.

You can

• administer input format permissions and settings at administer >> site configuration >> input formats.
• add a new input format at administer >> site configuration >> input formats >> add input format.
