[Phpwebsite-developers] Change to Text

[matt <ma...@tu...>]

Hello,

Closing in on a 1.3 stable release. Stuff keeps popping up to fix.

A recent post complained of a problem with text parsing. They had a link 
that looked like so:

<a href="mailto:ollie">Ollie</a>

The problem is that smilies are getting created inside tags.
The ":o" portion looks like the surprise smilie and it messed up the link.

While starting the fix I noticed that Text still had the $use_smilies 
parameter. Since the bb filtering has been moved outside the class, I 
removed it.

After doing this I came to a few decisions. Since bb encoding is such a 
small portion of the site, parseOutput will NOT observe text filters by 
default. Most admins are using the wysiwyg tools anyway.

You can enable filtering by calling parseOutput with the third parameter 
as true. This used to be the aforementioned smilie parameter, so 
Comments still works fine.

My other decision is to include the pear bb filter Shaun mentioned the 
other day. The default filter is still bb but I added a commented line 
above it to enable pear instead.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Sorry I haven't been able to make time to test this RC, but I did  
want to tell you that I appreciate the information and updates.

Very best regards,
