Use default format for "Submission guidelines" text.

I'd like this, too. A solid wall of text is hard to read and even more likely to be ignored.

I've been annoyed by this before as well. Currently it is filtered by "filter_xss" without a second argument which removes xss, but also removes any tags that are "block" elements (i.e. p, br, etc.).

The only drawback I know of switching from filter_xss to check_markup is that check_markup by default adds a p tag around the block of text which can add more whitespace than necessary in some circumstances.

Since this setting can be edited by a large number of users who may not be totally trustworthy I don't feel that filter_xss_admin is appropriate.

In terms of how to get it reviewed and tested...install project and project_issue and test it.

Good idea. Tested and it works fine. Only change is that we should do the same for the site-wide help text (which appears just above in the form). Committed that to both HEAD and DRUPAL-5--2.

Now this just need to be deployed on d.o. Luckily, we've got downtime in 2 hours. ;)

Deployed.
