I don't know if/what I have done wrong here, but after quite some time looking into using this module, I simply cannot get posted comments to display back in rich text after submission.

I have the BUEditor displaying a BBCode toolbar above my text area, and when you click the "B" button, it injects a pair of [b][/b] tags, which I guess is the correct behaviour. If I then type between the tags and submit the post though, when the page reloads with the new comment/content it literally still just reads

[b]test text[/b].

So the module is generating markup elements for the textarea, but it doesn't seem to subsequently do anything with it!

If I type <strong> tags etc. in the text box, I get the filtered HTML behaviour, but it is avoiding having to get users to do this that I am trying to achieve! I definitely don't want to have to make the submission box full HTML, though doing so makes no difference to this problem anyway..

Install BBCode filter and activate it for your default input format.

Thank you! Works as designed indeed.

I don't know whether I was just having a day of it yesterday, or whether the coupling between those two modules could/should be made clearer? Either way, I'm definitely with the fans of this editor & format, and probably agree it could well be "the" enhanced input module to be promoted to core. Cheers again.
